I'm the mother of an autistic son and I wish and pray for more doctors and medical professionals were like him: compassionate, understanding, and aware of autistic people conditions

Shut up I’m autistic and is he was acting that way with me!? Talking to me like a fucking baby!? I would tell him he better change the way he treats me right away. Idc if we are autistic WE DO NEED TO BE SPOKEN TO LIKE BABYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😤😤😤

[@LilFoxyCosplay]

I liked when the doctor explained every step and what everything was I'm autistic and had to get oral surgery it helped as I wasn't allowed to have my mum in the room (covid times)

[@LilFoxyCosplay]

@Xyz Xyz thank you! It was scary as I had a reaction to the anesthesia but got through it which is the main thing

[@ccstarzaj]

As someone on the spectrum some wording is iffy but otherwise they handled it quite well.

[@jaydebolton6414]

there were a few things they could have improved on. Also as someone on the spectrum like why did they have to separate the son from the dad to draw blood? couldn't he have stayed in his chair by dad holding dad's hand while they took the blood from the other? have dad's familiar voice reassuring and grounding. Also guy should have explained what he was doing before he did it. I am going to wipe your arm- before grabbing the wipe. 'now I am going to put a needle in your arm and put some blood in little bottles to see if you can help daddy'

[@fabplays6559]

@@jaydebolton6414 Yeah... I don't understand why they were trying to "trick" him? That frightened him even more and solidified distrust in them!

[@ccstarzaj]

@@jaydebolton6414 EXACTLY! Calm and slow explaniations help a lot as well, I really hope as this show continues they handle Disabilities better as I've been binging it for months since I take interest in Medical Situations and Chigaco is from my info the best for medical accuracy.

[@jaydebolton6414]

@@fabplays6559 I think on some level the doctor did that on purpose- freaked him out, the male doctor was reluctant all along and disagreed with the female doctor. So he acted in a way that would make the son react. Tried once and completely dismissed the whole thing rather than rethink their approach to the son and try again if they truly believed the son was the best way to help dad- and needed that test done because at some point the son could be in his dad's position genetic factor. Male doctor also sort of manipulated the patient by suggesting this alternative method without discussing with the female doctor who was treating the patient.

Why'd his accent suddenly become 1000% more southern about 4 minutes in? Lmao

[@viceodysseyvalor3089]

Stress of the case? Idk just a guess

[@zilesis1]

new actor maybe? even Hugh Laurie sometimes lets the american voice slip and sounds a bit british. maybe the actor is from the south and it was a long day of filming, so he slipped to his regular accent in some scenes?

[@georgiaevans5720]

The actor did grow up in Dallas so yes he is from the south

[@screenpeeks]

This whole thing hits hard for me - I have pkd. My parents found out when I was born, but at the same time also found out my dad had it... Please take care of your kidneys and get checked for pkd even if you don't think you could have it... mine is hereditary. The exact same disease in this video. My entire family tree grew up getting constant UTI's and bladder infections and had no idea. I am blessed to know but this is still a hard thing to talk about - people might look ok on the outside but... on the inside, they are afraid to possibly... ask someone they love to save their life one day.

[@haberschnack]

Hope you and your family doing well! One of my aunt's kidneys was failing a few years ago and she would have died rather soon without a donor. Luckily my dad was a perfect match and more than willing to help. 13 years later both are well: my aunt can be a happy grandma and my dad is a healthy and active man in his mid sixties.

I am autistic trust me when I say I feel for luke 🤗🤗

[@beccablueeyes99]

I wonder if they had told him that the injection would help his dad if he could have pushed through and atleast gotten tested.

[@dmf1301]

That wouldn’t be right, though, because they were only doing a test to see IF he was a compatible donor. So if it turned out he wasn’t, then it would have been a lie that the procedure would help the dad if he’d died a few months later. You have to be very careful with wording - if you don’t tell the complete and absolute truth, it causes more distress.

[@zilesis1]

@@dmf1301 but it would still have been good to do the procedure since the son might have the same disease? couldn't they say "we need to check if you will get sick like daddy or not"?

[@dmf1301]

@@zilesis1 I suppose they could try that. I'm just saying they shouldn't say exactly as Rebecca suggested, because it wouldn't really be the full and complete truth. Kids get very distressed when you tell lies that damage them. :(

The lesser of two evils. When the dad dies that is going to cause a lot of distress and it was possibly happening at that point in hours to days. They had little choice. They weren't doing it for giggles.

I mean they had to try there was a chance he wouldn't have reacted so badly and as soon as the doctor saw his reaction to the needle he stopped. Seemed reasonable to me.

[@SluggyBoi]

@@rachelnicholl32 High functioning and low functioning are literally terms used by medical professionals globally, the only toxic thing here is your opinion.

[@nicoleb695]

@@SluggyBoi no, as another autistic person, it is toxic. Our disorder isn't a sliding scale, it's a literal spectrum (think color spectrum) that has many symptoms. That kind of labeling restricts autistic people from being acknowledged, accepted, or having their voices be heard. It restricts our understanding of it so many people are undiagnosed or end up being negatively labeled by ignorant people who only see it as "high" or "low" instead of seeing the person for who they are. The idea that autism is difficult to live with comes with the idea that if you don't struggle all the time, "you don't count as autistic", which again is restrictive and demeaning. What was said was ableist, please listen and respect what we the majority have to say. Changing your language and perception makes a big difference.

[@KeniQilin]

i'm actually autistic myself and I always forget a blood test isn't that bad, it's just me being nervous. Last time I had one, the doctor who saw me said I was brave for sitting there, looking at the needle instead of just turning away.
