Bowie's daughter: 'treatment' centre + autism

B

I've been reading about Lexi Jones this morning and this has made me very sad.

The experience that she had at this 'treatment' centre sounds traumatising for anyone, let alone someone with autism (not diagnosed at that point):

This is an article about her diagnosis:

  • Wow… that’s crazy. Being Autistic and going to one of those camps? Absolutely nuts. No wonder it didn’t “work” for her. And what she said about the whiplash of living in an extremely structured environment to suddenly having complete freedom? Yeah, I could see that really messing with an Autistic teen’s brain. Good on her for discovering herself!

    Also, while she may be an American, she does have UK ties, right? What if she were to start using this forum? We could already be friends with her and never know lol

    Yep.

    Just reading about it filled me with dread. 

    A sure recipe for PTSD I should think especially considering her age when forcibly taken.

    Well, you are American and luckily for us are here.

    I have thought that about other famous autistic people actually.
