jeanette mizrahi commented on Catatonia, Shutdown and Breakdown in Autism from Catatonia, Shutdown and Breakdown in Autism: A good book and could be invaluable in crisis situations. Make your own notes and don't expect all clinicians to ' get it ' - build your own team of those that can back you and your loved one and help assist them to a more stable future, god willing. Don't forget to look after yourself as things can be heavy going.
