The physical acne scars have nothing to do with autism, but Mitchell volunteered that he feels the autism does make him more socially awkward. The acne scars do too. The medical treatment doesn’t mitigate autism, but the treatment will reduce another source of social anxiety. Reducing stress is a good thing and we can see how much happier he is after 2 treatments.

[@pennycandyys]

Well said!

[@pollyrigo6174]

Some autistic folks are very sensitive to touch, sound and noise, light, and other sensory factors. Dr Emma kept Mitchell in the loop as to treatmen stimuli. Good on Mitchel and his Mom!

[@Debbiesdilemmas]

Dr. Emma is just the sweetest doctor. You can see she takes the time with him to explain everything even her cold hands.🥰

[@kristymay9435]

Why wouldn’t she? Why would she not explain things to any patient?

[@ellisburton8733]

For those wondering if the autism would be relevant, yes it would but not to the Acne, the lovely young man could have light, noise sensitivity. Also a variety of skin super sensitivity issues and react to the chemicals a lot. The Doc did amazingly informing him, building rapport, reassurance and monitoring him - he could, but did not, have had a meltdown due to the stress and lept off the table, that's where the Autism awareness becomes and intimate part of the treatment plan. Yes it does really need to be in the title. A physically big young man potentially having a meltdown means he needs to trust you and you need to be a flipping awesome doctor...

[@joswearingen3507]

My favorite patient. My eldest brother was autistic, passed away a decade ago. I still miss him. Smartest human I’ve ever met, and so sweet. Sending Mitchell a big hello-you feel like family to me.

[@EJproductionsxD]

Hate how they have to use his autism to sensationalise the video. It is a great video but frankly it has pretty much nothing to do with him being autistic

[@michaelcerafan]

yes i agree! as an autistic person

[@jacquelinesmith6712]

Thankfully his case is nothing to do with autism. It is a circumstance that can be treatable.

[@jenh9221]

I like how it shows that he’s just another person. We’re not all non-verbal 8-year-olds.

Do you have an autistic child. If you don’t mind me asking.

[@TikiHi77]

You could see how happy he was after the first visit by the way he stood tall and started to walk fast. Looking great!

[@melniee2551]

aw, I hope this completely works for him! what a nice young man.

"It looks like something out of a horror film" Uhhh, thanks mom...

I don’t think it looks like something out a horror film…. Bit harsh mom…

[@Debbiesdilemmas]

Agreed

My thoughts, exactly lol

[@jenh9221]

Yeah she was a bit dramatic.

[@narnettashepard2948]

Sheesh Mom

[@Sirbartholomew]

She was talking about how it used to look back when it was in its prime, what u saw in this video is just the aftermath.

[@cathybenson5119]

He's such a lovely man. I wish you all the very best in the future, mate. 😊😊😊

[@jelliemish]

It's so lovely to see his interest in all the medical stuff cause I'm the same! I'm autistic too and I love medicine and technology and I'll always want to know how things work.

[@debraboyea7776]

He's such a fun person! And no one better to treat him than this doctor!❤

[@haggielady]

Such a nice young man.

[@aaronharris5069]

Having autism could possibly make the pain issues worse, because many autistic people have sensory issues. I feel for this young man. 💙

[@LightningBug04]

Still.. had noticed to do with his acne problems.. as an autistic person myself it bugs me greatly when people do this for more views

[@Bigaitch]

I love Dr Emmas personality and manner with her patients and their families. Gaving the ability to do what dhe does is a blessing but having tbat manner andway about her takes her to another level.

[@karenmckillip8685]

Your honesty and bedside manner with your patience is amazing

[@lorienray6216]

Dr. Emma great job, Mitchell is the perfect patient and I wish him well

[@jnmorris1ify]

what a darling young man. Great video Dr.

[@abbysheremeta7837]

Ugh he is soooo cute!!!!! I love his attitude towards the treatment and being interested in how it works.

[@abbysheremeta7837]

And I’m not saying this in a condescending way. Too bad I don’t live in the UK to meet him and hang out with him

[@drewconway7135]

Poor guy! As difficult and painful as this is for him, at least the scars weren’t somewhere worse, like on his face

[@awenbunny]

I’ve had cortisone injections in my keloid scars and they all but disappeared into a thin line. Hope he has the same great results

[@judycook4314]

Definitely a big improvement! I’m so happy for him!

[@jennbeth1]

Why add that he's autistic in the header? It has nothing to do with his acne situation.

[@katherinmcroberts3456]

I have these EXACT SAME THINGS on my shoulders! I've been told they're keloid scars... They really do hurt and it feels like they're growing together sometimes or someone's poking them with needles...

[@annegreenwood3624]

yes they look odd but i hope she didn’t say the stuff she said to him all the time when i was a child i was called stupid ugly fat words can be hurtful and remain forever he is a handsome young man the dr is so sweet and does an amazing job

[@DruinStLouis]

Such a sweet kind young man. 😊

[@nursejanainholland1978]

Same here, he seems like a normal enough lad so im confused.

Seems the kid's pretty sharp. So glad to see the relief!

I love him. He’s adorable and intelligent

[@corinneone]

Yeah that’s such an improvement! You look great.

[@chriswiles3092]

I feel for this man, I have the same exact issue....one thing I will say that helped mine was a combination of seawater/saltwater, and sunlight, it made the color lighten several shades and the protruding go way down

[@MsrKSDisque]

Good job Mitchell!!!

[@JA-gx4hb]

He seems more normal than most people I know.

[@Sirbartholomew]

Bro who hurt that lifeguard

[@pauljordan4452]

What a loser. He needs to jump in the deep end.

[@Jenjenilou]

Dr Emma with her broad Northern Ireland accent and then Mitchell with his Bristol accent 'yer hands err cowld' ... just made me chuckle. For such small islands we do have such a huge variety of accents lol.

[@beverlylumley4150]

[@robinvarnadoe8429]

The scars are really flattening out and once the reddish purple color disappears they won't be quite as noticeable.

[@miguelofthedark]

Aren't they keloids? Also, what's the type of laser called? Thanks!

[@KalinduUdawela-wv1sv]

Dr emma you are the best

[@brainchildren7140]

Hypertrophic scarring is common in EDS which is also common in autism! Perhaps there is a connection there

[@mrich9654]

Why even mention his autism? This has nothing to do with his skin.

[@buglove515]

He's really tuff!!!

[@daffodilrose1950]

Gee..Mom you aren’t helping the situation with your comments.

[@oneseeker2]

Upper backs and shoulders can really get acne bad. Does HE have any Irish DNA, Rosacea can be an issue. What a sweet, warm very nice looking young man. He is articulate as well, engaging.

[@jillburton6041]

Mitchell is more ‘normal’ than the vast majority of us.

[@kerriirvin5206]

He’s such a cutie

[@MarilynSharp-j1d]

I agree that. It's insulting to refer to his autism. Has nothing to do with his issue.

[@possumfriend2335]

He mentions it himself, explaining that he already has problems with social interactions a s that this skin problem adds to that to make it more difficult.

[@ellisburton8733]

It wouldn't have much to do with his acne but everything to do with how the doctor treated him and informed him, light, noise and skin sentitivity are common.

[@SB-ez3dw]

You have to leave the numbing cream on for “an R.”

[@pamkay1756]

Mitchell, don't let your autism define you. Best wishes to you. ❤

[@narnettashepard2948]

You can't even tell he has autism.

[@pauljordan4452]

I'm autistic, perpetually anxious and live with it. It doesn't define me.

Nothing to do with autism...he is brave awsome. Best wishes to him.

[@88marome]

I have autism, ADHD and eczema. It’s really awful when I get eczema on my face and I can’t stop scratching and doctor doesn’t want prescribe the creams that I know will help. The moisturizers they give me just makes it a thousand times worse but they don’t want to believe it.

[@latonyanewsome0]

His social skills seem just fine. I feel like they said autism as a buzz word as if that's a cause to his issue.

[@Hayden-rc1ru]

I agree that they used his diagnostic as a buzz word, but he's not a kid anymore, he's probably learned to mask his autism to a fair extent by now. You can't say he's not autistic just because his social skills seem fine enough.

[@mariannekennedy4548]

He appeared comfortable speaking of the autism. I really don't think Autism is a big sensational click bait item. Most people who watch these are just into the dermatology anyway.

[@mariekt313]

PLEASE can we get captions??? I'm also autistic and it's often difficult for me to hear things correctly.. captions would really be helpful.

Dumb question - why could the scars not just be excised?

[@strawberrysoymilkshake]

Basically hypertrophic and keloid scars are created by trauma such as wounds. Cutting them off would only create more wounds, and more of the same scars. It's a vicious cycle.
