Most Memorable Patient:
- One of my first patients was a little boy who was diagnosed with Autism and non-verbal. He usually calmed himself by sucking his thumb and rubbing his eyebrows. One day, he didn't want to leave the therapy room. I was trying to put on his shoes and he was upset. He bit my arm. Hard. Once he calmed himself, he came back and rubbed my eyebrows. I always felt it was his way of apologizing to me.
