I giggled at your first line mate, thanks for that lol
And thank you for saying such kind words of encouragement to me, sorry tho, I didn't mean to mislead you, shouldn't of used the word spectrum, he wasn't autistic but rather a normal person before the epilepsy however, you'd be surprised how seizures mess with your mental health over time and, after a certain point, brain damage became apparent in him so, you'd easily tell he's a person with learning delays and poor self-awareness.
Even without recreational drugs or alcohol involved his condition was super aggressive leading to this thing called 'Post Ictal Psychosis',. Ictal is the medical term for seizures and patients in Ictal psychosis can be trapped in this alternative reality for weeks (if untreated) where they're not really in control but, are the author of their own mayhem, Reece was highly unpredictable and dangerous during these periods, even the mental health doctor told us, most sufferers of the condition are harmless (but maybe a danger to themselves) adding, 'when Reece gets this, scary!', that was his exact words. I researched it up as well, theres a famous case in America where an epileptic patient used 'Post Ictal Psychosis' as a defence in a murder trial.
But yeah, it is a shit hand and he did kind of have all his chances taken away with this illness but still could off lived a fairly decent existence if it wasn't for his environment, thanks so much for your comment, I will defo take your advice and make time for myself Thank you
