You illuminated something in this piece that I have never even considered.
You said —-“ Until you’re caring for an adult who can’t express his internal goings-on, you don’t realize how much proper medical care is predicated on being able to describe your symptoms to someone else.” —- I think that is such an important and eye-opening point. It really made me understand in a way I hadn’t before one of the many struggles people who are unable to express themselves must face.
Thanks - that is absolutely one of the biggest challenges we have in supporting our son. It’s a topic of great discussion in our special needs family circles, and still something that the general public (and even many doctors) do not fully understand. Thanks for seeing it.

Great piece. Thank you.

Thanks for making me aware of it. It must be a really big challenge and one that is made even harder when people are not aware that it is an issue.
