00:00Okay, the problem is that any, he's not eating, any suggestion of eating sends him into a fit.
00:19Any suggestion of going to the potty, sends him into a fit, he's completely regressed in terms of potty tracking.
00:31He won't, and it used to be that, you know, if we took him and, you know, set him up in front of the toilet, he would go, now he won't even do that.
00:38Even with a reward, he won't.
00:40Even with a reward.
00:42You know.
00:42He'll drink, but he won't eat.
00:44He's more thirsty, I noticed.
00:45If I say, do you want something to drink, he's more like saying yes, but when it is the fact that...
00:53And here's, here's what, here's what worries me.
01:00Okay, we're not saying he's got schizophrenia.
01:03I'm hungry.
01:04Okay, what do you want?
01:05I'm hungry.
01:06Okay, no hungry.
01:07In psychosis, you don't eat because there's something in your mind telling you that you can't eat, so it doesn't matter how hungry you get, a psychotic person cannot be driven to eat until the psychosis releases them.
01:29So, whatever is going on with Bodhi...
01:35Look, Bodhi!
01:36Okay, okay, it's okay, it's no hungry, I'm not, I'm not changing you because you're hungry, I'm just changing you so that you can relax better.
01:44Okay, we're going to sit up.
01:46Okay, now we're good.
01:48Okay.
01:49And he's got to be held all the time.
01:50Mm-hmm.
01:51I see poop in there.
01:52No, there's no poop there.
01:54I see poop in there!
01:56I see poop in there!
01:58Where do you see poop?
01:59I'm right there!
02:00You're right there?
02:01Right there!
02:02In your tush?
02:04Yes.
02:04You have poop in your tush?
02:06Yeah, what you got is this.
02:08He was complaining that it hurts, so...
02:10And he wanted water in his tush all the time.
02:13It feels as if it gave him some kind of relief to a certain extent.
02:18I don't know whether he's then realized as if he has a big lump there that he feels like as if it is poop.
02:24You know, you're kind of advised to the fact that there's something heavy in the back here.
02:33Because all you have...
02:33No, I want this one!
02:36Okay.
02:36I want this one!
02:37What do you want, Chloe?
02:39What is this one?
02:39I want, I want a rubber soldier!
02:42What do you want?
02:43I want a rubber soldier!
02:45Let's throw it in your tush all the time.
02:46Let's, let's stand up.
02:48Let's turn it off.
02:49Let's turn it off.
02:50Let's turn it off.
02:51Oh, you want to turn it off?
02:52Turn it off.
02:53That's fine.
02:55We'll come back to it, Janie.
02:57Don't worry, okay?
02:57We'll come back to it.
02:59Good girl.
03:00Good girl.
03:01Because earlier, he was playing here, and he said there was poop in the bucket.
03:05Yeah, he's been saying that there's poop in various locations, and there's...
03:09Well, again, I would...
03:12He, to me, that's seeing something that is not there.
03:17I'm not going to even say what the word is for it, but I am seeing...
03:20It could also just be an idea locked in his head.
03:23Yes, that's true.
03:24It could be.
03:25It doesn't mean he's actually seeing it.
03:26I'm not going to say the word.
03:28I'm just saying...
03:29But today, he said he saw a rainbow over here.
03:33Does it really matter if it's schizophrenia or if it's bipolar?
03:37No, it doesn't.
03:38But he needs the right medication.
03:40Well, what matters is he needs to eat, and Respiridol is supposed to increase appetite.
03:44It's not working.
03:45And it's not working, and it didn't work on Janie.
03:47That's right.
03:50That's right.
03:52So we've got to film everything because we need the right treatment.
03:55And he's fighting if he sleeps a little and rests his body.
03:58Well, that's the Benadryl.
04:00Yes.
04:00I know.
04:01But...
04:01Okay, what do you want?
04:03He wants Pam now.
04:05Okay.
04:06All right.
04:06Okay.
04:07All right.
04:08Let's get down.
04:08I guess we just rotate in between things.
04:11Yeah.
04:17So this is him one day out of UCLA, which he was there for a week, and they said he was
04:25fine.
04:26He's good to go.
04:28I believe you, Janie.
04:38I believe you more than I believe anybody else.
04:41Did you know that, Janie?
04:45Yeah.
04:46Yeah.
04:50I've got brownies coming.
04:51You've got brownies coming?
04:52You're doing very well, sweetie.
04:54Why do you think he's doing a prank?
04:56Because I said, thank you.
04:59What was that?
05:00Oh!
05:01I fell in the pit!
05:04I fell in the pit!
05:05You fell in the pit?
05:06I fell in the pit.
05:08You fell in the pit?
05:09You threw the pit.
05:10Okay.
05:11It's okay.
05:11You want that pit?
05:12Yeah.
05:13You want that pit of gold cover?
05:15Okay.
05:15That's good.
05:16Okay.
05:17The battery's running low on this, so.
05:20Ow!
05:21Okay.
05:21Why are you doing a peanut?
05:24That's okay.
05:25See, that's the thing.
05:25The things that should be comforting him are not comforting him.
05:28Exactly.
05:29No, I know.
05:30I know.
05:30And that's not autism.
05:32Autistic kids, there's always something that will comfort them.
05:36You know, there is a certain routine.
05:39He, nothing will comfort him.
05:41We're just playing the autistic game right now, okay?
05:45Because we need services.
05:46I don't care what the diagnosis is.
05:48I don't either.
05:50My concern is he's got a milligram of risperinol, and he's not eating, and he's throwing himself
06:02around, and, you know, there's no point in taking him back to the hospital because he
06:08wasn't doing this in the hospital.
06:10Well, yes, he was.
06:12He just had five people that were there.
06:14I mean, they had tons of people that would, you know, and they called it a tantrum.
06:18I love my pig.
06:19Yeah.
06:20I know.
06:20They called it a tantrum.
06:22By the way, I was going to say, you know, all the people who said the last few years
06:23talking about how dirty our apartment is, look at it.
06:26The one who causes all that mess is Bodie.
06:32Well, Pam, it's Pam, come on.
06:35Oh, it is not my Bodie.
06:37Oh, now?
06:41No.
06:41I told you, but Dr. Woodall said he's not doing that anymore.
06:45He's perfectly calm.
06:48Oh, his pain is perfectly real.
06:50Yes.
06:51Yes, of course.
06:52What is it you want, Bodie?
06:54Pink, pink.
06:55And UCLA specifically said, you know, Seroquel.
06:58Although it felt like the Seroquel.
07:00Oh, no, the Seroquel didn't help.
07:02No, he needs mood stabilizer, or Thorazine, really.
07:08Why didn't he get that in his mouth?
07:09We need a walking chair.
07:11Yeah, you need a rocking chair.
07:12I know.
07:13Well, now you can start.
07:14We had a rocking chair.
07:15Well, it was dangerous, though, because they kept bumping their heads on it.
07:18Right, right.
07:19I remember he used to go and slam himself against it.
07:21Yeah, that's the problem.
07:25Don't drop my pee.
07:27But, yeah, what you just saw with your hair that he really got Shantae this morning.
07:31I wish I had the film on there, because he got her completely in the face and the hair, everything.
07:36These are all behaviors he used to have.
07:38The Risperdal worked for a while, and it simply stopped working.
07:42And then they...
07:44It just stopped working.
07:47What can I say?
07:53And over.
07:54And over.
07:55It's okay.
07:56And over.
07:58What happened?
07:59It's almost like you're throwing the ping-ping against his will.
08:02Well, yes!
08:03We're finally noticing that.
08:05That's great.
08:05I am so glad you're finally noticing this.
08:08Can I hold the pick for you?
08:09Because you know what?
08:10I...
08:11It's like he throws it, and then he...
08:12And then he wants to...
08:14I'm going to hold the ping.
08:15Okay?
08:15I'm going to hold the little piggy right.
08:16I'm just glad you are finally realizing this, because I know.
08:20I've been seeing this for a long time, okay?
08:22He's here for the time.
08:23Of course he is, Jannie.
08:24I know.
08:25I know he is.
08:27I believe he's hearing things.
08:29I do, too.
08:30Yeah.
08:30So it's you and me, Jannie.
08:32You and me.
08:33We're the ones that...
08:34Remember one time...
08:35Well, it was always you and me, actually.
08:36Because the first time, they didn't believe you.
08:39And now we have to go through it again with Bodhi.
08:42Now we have to go through it again, Jannie.
08:44But at least now we have other people that are witnessing it, too.
08:50Oh, yeah.
08:50He'll bite until he's, you know...
08:52Do the color...
08:53Yeah, yeah.
08:54Do the color...
09:13Do the color...
09:17It's like a drink-a-a-a-a-a.
09:22All right, why don't you shut it off now so I can get back to beating them.
09:42All right.
