As a Mum of an autistic girl, I must say Lyla’s mum is absolutely amazing. Her sensitivity & understanding of her daughter’s brain difference, means this little girl is in awesome hands. I wish them well, they are both so beautiful! 💕

That Jamaican guy is so so sweet It’s kind of a shame that he sometimes has to deal with aggressive people he’s got the best mentality ever ❤

Absolutely loved the security guard….amazing man and valuable employee for this hospital. 👍❤️

Lucy is a SUPER STAR Mum!!! And Sugar is an amazing man. This episode is so touching, even more than usual. BTW, we staff members conspired to let a husband bring the family's beloved pet rabbit to visit her in our inpatient mental health unit. The lady had a private room. The rabbit was super tame. Ride in a bowling ball bag, quiet & still. Box trained, so no mess during the brief visit. 1 RN had a double yellow head parrot -- very healthy -- with tips of flight wings trimmed. He talked & did tricks. He spent a short visit in the nurses' station, patients could choose if they wanted to pass by. The above all decades ago. I am now retired, since 2017. Blessings to all.

I am in Australia and I specialise in Autism Transition. This is where they finish school and all the support and tailored teaching that they have been given and used to ends, and they have to join the community to find their way. You cannot protect them from this. It's not fair to expect parents to have a lifelong obligation to effectively look after their adult Autism children 24/7 forever. They don't need this like other severe disabilities. The sooner that this occurs the better. Of course this only applies to those who are not severely disabled by it. We have funded transition programs to help them get used to being with strangers and to understand their condition. They need very firm boundaries and predictability. Thats makes them feel safer. You teach them to build these themselves and to plan their lives even down to even an hourly basis, because beneath it, they want to be like the other young people. The anger and frustration comes from not understanding why they are different and then accepting it.

That Lila is so so adorable. She’s just got the cutest little cheeky face ❤ not to mention I do love her pair of headphones

The parrot is gorgeous. ❤

I could totally understand if like it was a wild bird just flapping around in everybody’s face, but it’s quite obvious that that bird was quite tame like It’s not like somebody showed up with an orangutan or something

I remember my first time on anaesthetics that was hilarious. It was between having uncontrollable giggles and being completely zonked out. 😂

Fantastic show…. Please keep posting! Thank you so much!

I grew up with undiagnosed autism and was ab*sed bc I wasn't "acting normal". I'm happy this mum is doing what she can to help her daughter and accommodate her needs. Love to her ❤

I really feel for Lyla as someone else with autism and adhd, I wasn’t diagnosed until i was 15 but her relationship with her mum reminds me so much of me and my mum. Even when I was younger and wasnt diagnosed my mum always tried her best to understand the things about me that were “different” and advocated for me in every way she could. my dad is also autistic (we realised he had it when i was getting diagnosed) and so he could understand me better but that did not stop my mum trying to help and understand both of us as best as she could. love you mum and dad💛

I absolutely love their past stories ❤️ you never know what people have gone through in life. Really opens up people's eyes

As an autism mom, you are doing awesome 💕

I bet that Parrot would have been a great distraction for poor little Lyla and her painful fingernail xo

I feel for the mam of the little girl with autism and adhd , my son has both diagnoses, she will find her way honestly xx

Layla is a beautiful little girl, inside & out. With the love she has, she WILL be an amazing young woman!!

……had a horse rear-up on me, but I threw myself down from the waist, over his off shoulder, which brought him down onto his front hoofs’ again. Maybe the fact of riding since I was 8, &’ my then 15years’ of experience saved me a fall………

Jack's mum❣♥️

Sugar is so kind and engaging, what a sweetheart. 😀

Jack’s Mom is so fantastic. ❤

I’m really surprised that they allowed the bird in the hospital! Obviously he loves the bird!

Lyla and mum, you both did fantastic. My heart was with you every step of the way from 🇨🇦. I know all too well what you both were going through. Lyla reminds me so much of my son at that age, she will exceed all expectations!

If you use meters/cm instead of pre-decimal mesurements, you can guess the height of the horse by putting a 0 at the end, due to average hand-width being 10 cm (4 inches), and is usually up to shoulder-height for the horse, not head due to movements/stability of the rider on it's back, during rides.

I don’t know what it is about the word pus, but it just grosses me right out 😂

I have an autistic daughter, she's 24 now and still gets very overwhelmed with lots of situations, it's very hard as a mom to watch her go through these things, her melt downs are very emotional for both of us. I wish you luck for her future. Kids can be very mean to other kids.

What a superb Mum Lyla has

People r so heartless with the parrot. He’s am❤amazing❤

It is kind of shocks me to know that drugs that are technically illegal are used in our medical system in a professional capacity

It really peeves me off to think that a mother could even have the slightest fear that her children would be judged for something so stupid I mean, seriously who the hell judges somebody just because they have a physical or mental disability

I absolutely love 24 Hours In A&E it’s my favorite tv show along side In The Night Garden Justin’s House and Show Me Show Me and 999 On The Frontline and Emergency Helicopter Paramedics and Billie and Greg The Family Diaries and Ferne McCann My Family And Me

Like seriously you know you don’t expect everybody to be an animal lover, but I mean learn to love a little, not be such a crank pot

The Parrot is an Amazon.

I was diagnosed with Aspergers aged 7. I would fall over as a child and not cry. Unless I had physical signs they couldn't always tell if I was unwell or hurt. High pain threshold when I had appendix issues aged 19.

Terrible nurse never got over seeing film “The Birds” and refusing to get gentleman in recsus

I don’t get what everybody’s big deal with this parrot is like it stays on his hand. It’s nice it’s friendly. Personally, I would love for that thing to come climb over to me and say hi.

No matter how old they are when they sick they want their mom..

The hospital is lucky to have the security guard who spoke on this video he is a big asset I am sure they appreciate him Lila’s mother needs some help she was great but then lost it which didn’t help her child. She is looking for things that are not there.

😊

I pretty much thought I was dead when that happened to me. I mean, that is like you might as well have a car rollover on you.

I was surprised to find out that technically speaking fentanyl and heroin are actually used in professional capacity, of course, in the medical system I don’t know it kind of shocks me that you see the way that they abused outside of our hospital

Wait does the parrot not breach health and safety 😭

That mum needs to do better at masking her victim mentality. Its going to spread to her child. You NEED to push your children to be brave and just get on with things sometimes and not always pander. There is a fine line between being aware of her daughters autism and just simply letting her child rule the roost. And before anyone says anything i have a 16 year old with ADHD and autism and im telling you now, you cant be saying awww poor baba everytime they are in a stressful situation.

Speaking from experience having a horse roll over on you that is not fun. Good God I feel bad for that person that took me away for quite a while.

No offense, but I mean seriously for people saying that they would flip their lid just because there’s an animal around what is wrong with you like it’s not harming you

Every child has autism anymore. They better find out why its happening.

Here is one difference between NHS and American Drs - no way would American Drs waited 2 full years, 18 different antibiotics to do something different, more serious to find out what was going on with the beautiful Lyla.

So basically what im getting ...if you dont want to wait forever to see a doctor just act like a walking arsehole and you get seen faster.

How come they don't sedate Lyla?

T🙄oo bad you can't hear it unless you turn up high!

Hubby and I couldn’t have children. Cheated is a good word about how that feels. Especially when your friends are having abortions and then getting pregnant again and again and keeping those children.

Not to make light of the matter, but it’s weird to think that fentanyl and heroin actually do serve a good purpose in some scenarios

Who asks to be sectioned? I really don’t get why 😮

To each their own, but I mean whenever there’s an animal around animals are usually the most loving yeah that comment just goes to prove why so many people say that people suck

I can't imagine a parrot can be the most sanitary thing to have in a hospital. Not sure how I'd feel about it if I was a patient.

Who hates parrots??😢

Parrots should never be pets! I’m sure this man loves his, but too many birds suffer in the exotic pet trade!

@40:10 These so-called medical professionals handled this wrong. There were too many of them surrounding her at one time. Surprising that they were able to treat her. They caused all of her trauma. Her mother should have filed a complaint against all of them.

I would absolutely flip my lid if there was a parrot or any animal other thAn a support animal in a medical facility where I was being treated.
