Ellery’s diagnosis, Batten disease, does not receive a lot of attention. Since it is rare it is not “profitable” to fund research. Because of this, research is heavily reliant on public contributions. Learn how to help cure Batten disease at www.curebatten.org/donate/

It's so upsetting that certain diseases can't fund research because it's not profitable. I hope one day everything can be researched so everyone has a chance to find cures

Btw, to all loving parents: if a doctor ever tells you your child is doing something "for attention," please get a second opinion. Children rarely do things "just for attention," and when they do, it's a sign of a deeper issue, so the next question should be "why?"

It's a stock "diagnosis" that all too many doctors come out with when they don't really know what the problem is and don't wish to seem ignorant (doctors are expected to know things, of course). Ellery's mother is lucky that that physical therapist was able to come to some kind of conclusion (a suspicion, really, I suppose) and recommend a neurologist. I remember a sad case, many years ago now, in which a toddler kept crying and shrieking for no apparent reason and so of course, his parents took him to hospital. The doctors came out with this stock "diagnosis" - "He's just doing it for attention" - and, over the child's parents' protests, refused to do anything further. The boy died soon afterwards, and only then was the actual problem discovered: he had swallowed an open safety pin, and it had been piercing a hole in his esophagus. It eventually worked its way through and pierced his heart. I don't remember what consequences there were for the doctors involved in that case. *_NEVER_* accept a doctor's assurance that a child "is just doing it for attention" - *_EVER._*

@@kingcrimson234 I mean...you really /should/ blame the doctor. Women and children are often treated poorly by Dr's (both male and female). I went to the doctor for really bad pain in my sides. I have mental health issues, and was told it was anxiety but they did an ultrasound and said nothing was wrong. 6 months later I moved and got a new Dr. As soon as I mentioned this same recurring pain, she sent me directly to an image lab and took it very seriously. They called me hours later and told me to go to the ER. Yeah, it was a VERY large kidney stone. The ER Dr had a fit when I told him that I had been looked at 6 months before. This stone was so big that even 6 months prior it would have been virtually impossible to miss; unless you were intentionally not really looking. So back to the main point; yeah, the Dr wasn't a specialist. But that's the entire point of having a PCP. They are supposed to send you to a specialist when they themselves can't solve it. You don't go to your PCP to get cancer treatments. You go to get minor treatments (colds, shots, possibly a few stiches) and referrals for anything that isn't basic medical problems. This child's Dr was completely irresponsible and probably embarrassed that they didn't have an answer, literally putting their ego before a child's health. The Dr is literally the ONLY person at fault.

You just have to watch the video a little to see all the happiness, tenderness and diversion that it transmits even by its presence. I think you are privileged parents of having the girl. It is joy in person. She shows everything she enjoys with you and everyone, and How much she love her parents 🤤🤤🤤. Like I think everything is variable and we must to enjoy everything in our present and in our days. Tomorrow it is another different day and everything is possible. I lost part of my family when I was a teenager and it wasnt expected. Today I know life is gonna give me this happiness with new persons in the future. And for sure Ellery will be giving us her happiness more more years. She is a gift ❤❤❤. I hope you can read it and you can learn it. I think happiness is for people who deserve it. We are that people. Kisses for all 😊😊

I had never heard of Battens Disease until a friend from school told me their son was diagnosed with Infantile Battens Disease. Their son and my son were the same age and played together when they were younger. He passed away last summer. It was heartbreaking. I’m so sorry Ellery and her family are going through this. Chris you are always so kind. Loved when you sang to her.

I can see how you'd feel that way and to me anyway, it's a natural feeling. You shouldn't feel ashamed for that as long as you're not actively taking it out on anyone. We all want the best of what we can get, including for those closest to us to be healthy and happy. Life can be really unfair.... Ever since I had my boy, well actually before that, I keep getting this nagging anxiety that something huge and negative will happen with him when he's younger (within the first 7-10 years of his life). I try not to let this overtake me in any way, obviously since it's probably just worry and I don't want to induce any kind of manifestation if that's real, but it does make me really appreciate the time I spend with him everyday. I have health issues and some other things, so I can do things with him like normal parents. I wish there was some way for me to send out vibes or something to help out. I'm only 33 but feel my life is mostly over, so I'd happily give the rest to kids who could use it. I wish bad things didn't have to happen to kids....

Every time I hear of doctors who tell their patients- especially children- that they’re doing something for “attention” or just brush off a patient/parents concerns, I get so upset. I’ve had that experience. My loved ones and friends have had that experience. And I’m sure many, many others out there have had that experience as well. I won’t pretend to understand the stress that comes with being a practitioner in the medical field- and I greatly respect all of those out there who have dedicated their lives to helping others- but it’s just… so common for patients to not be taken seriously. At the very least, the symptoms are REALLY impacting them. They’re REALLY experiencing something that is challenging day to day life. Even just having a doctor acknowledge that is better than being told things like “it’s just in your head”, “you’ll grow out of it”, “you just need to tough it out” (real experiences). My heart goes out to this family. I can’t express through words how much I wish them peace and happiness ♥️

Before you have a child, you have no idea how much personality a young child has, how many memories they can pack into a brief amount of time, and how many dreams you’ll have for them. I pray that you have wonderful memories and lots of new reasons to enjoy life amid the grief you’ve experienced (and likely still experience). ❤

Your son won't have a life like yours or many boys his age. He will truly have a life that is uniquely his...as supported and facilitated by you and others. Please remember that women are born to teach language, social skills, and boundaries. Autism doesn't require different skills just more deliberation and checks for understanding. Autism doesn't require more love because we love our children as much as they need, no matter what, and no matter how old they are. Love to you and yours.

My sibling and I, both adults now, have autism as well. So do many of my friends. If given the support we need, we can be just as happy as normal people :) Sure, our lives might be different, but your worth is not defined by what you can produce for society with a degree and a job. If you let go of the expectations you had before his birth and just love and support him for what he IS able to do, he WILL lead a happy and fulfilling life! On a different note, my sibling was diagnosed with low functioning autism, severe behavioural issues, and a mental disability. They went to special ed all their life and were projected to never be able to function without assistance. Then, at like age 14-16, they taught themselves gaming, then English as a second language, then hacking, and after a couple of years of college specially for autistic kids like them, ended up securing a job. They went from barely able to multiply 7x7 to a job in less than a decade. Turns out he was neglected by special ed and severely limited by being put in a class with other kids with severe issues. So I do want to ask that you always watch his abilities, and if you think there is an opportunity to grow, that even professionals can be wrong sometimes. If your instinct says something is up, listen to your gut, and DO seek second opinions! Also, If he can't find kids at school to play with, help him join some hobby clubs, and if that doesn't work, playdates with other autistic kids. It's not like 3 decades ago that a kid is doomed if they can't find friends inside their school, there are many online resources available to give him the social life he needs. But mostly just focus on the first paragraph. Just love and support him where he's at, and he will be fine. You sound very empathic so I'm sure you can do this together
