What Was That Like - True Stories. Real People.

As parents, you want your child to be healthy and happy. And you’ll
do anything to make that happen.

But
that’s not always easy when your child is autistic.

Science
and medicine has learned a lot about autism, but there’s still a
lot of mystery around it as well. What causes it (if anything), how
to treat it… there are lots of questions that are still unanswered.
And a successful treatment protocol for one person might not work as
well for another one.

My
guest today is Sarah. She and her husband, Brian, have a son named
Devon, who has severe autism. Devon would have sudden behavior
incidents that often turned violent, and he could hurt himself, or
his parents, or his siblings. Of course, as his mother, Sarah wanted
desperately to help him. But it got to the point where she didn’t
know what to do.

Then
she found out about a hospital that could possibly help Devon. After
years of frustration and exhaustion, there was maybe some hope. And
with an adjustment in medication, she saw some progress with Devon.

What
horrified her was finding out what was actually happening at that
hospital.

is the organization that Sarah mentioned as a resource:

Here
on the podcast we’ve several episodes with guests who have told the
story of being attacked by an animal.

These
include a grizzly bear, a monkey, a shark, a rattlesnake, a tiger, a
pair of dogs, an alligator, and a swarm of yellow jackets. But we
haven’t yet had a story about a hippo attack.

Until
today.

My
guest today is Honor. She was traveling throughout Africa and she
learned about the list of animals in Africa that cause the most
fatalities. Hippos are number TWO on that list, and number one may
surprise you. She told me what it was in our conversation.

Hippos
look like they would just want to roll over and scratch their belly.
But don’t be fooled. They are extremely territorial, and can get
very angry. And, as Honor saw first-hand, they are also quite fast.

you’d like to contact Honor, she’s in the Facebook group -
