• For us parents : 

- echolalia, repeating the same things over and over again

- emotional crises

- sleepless nights

- helplessness in the face of eating disorders

- dealing with compulsive buying fever

- lack of “intellectual” discussion and reflection

- the unknown of orientation

- questions about the benefits of school in terms of learning versus obstacles. Is school learning well adapted and well targeted?

- concerns about peer relationships

- loneliness in dealing with and understanding pathology-related disorders.

• For him, Vaillant :

- succeeding in transcribing emotions

​

 

• For his sister :

- dealing with cries or rales

- dealing with echolalia

​

 

Of course, these difficulties are invasive on a daily basis, but our attachment to our child and the love he or she reflects back to us enable us to overcome them.
