I’m glad she is doing better nowadays. Our symptoms are very different in terms of types. So I can not relate to certain things. But when you are young and experience schizophrenia you don’t know any different. I do hear voices and experience seeing things. But not like how she sees things. I think the full blown visual girl and animals are very interesting. She doesn’t have the typical symptoms. Like the disorganized speech and thought, typical of cos. But I don’t live with her so i don’t know all of it. But she is a very interesting person, and I’m glad she copes well with her illness.

I agree... although there's a little dysfunction in the family (divorce and the father living in a different state now and fighting between the two of them about both Jani and Bodhi) I don't think they are that bad. Jani is so smart at a young age because they worked with her. Her mom and her new husband have been working with the two of them and they have made great progress with both kids. Then again Mom doesn't think Bodhi is autistic and that he just has schizophrenia... Honestly I think he has both but that's just my opinion. They also accuse the parents of abuse but honestly I think their father over exaggerated in his writing to make a point on how violent her behavior was.
