Dr. Jameson, K. Redfield Jameson up in Baltimore, wrote a book called where she hypothesized that if you have a mental illness, you often are extremely artistic and you think outside the box. You think differently than other people. Of course, for parents, this is fantastic. We're all in for that.

But he was an artist and then he switched over and wanted to start doing rap music because of his writing. And nowadays, people can put their own music out there and he does his own music and puts it out. And it's helped him because, you know, we went through, a decade of hell over this. It was awful. I wouldn't wish it on anyone, but we were extremely lucky.

We know that medication used to go by the rule of thirds and they're getting better with medication, but we know one third are really helped with medication and my son falls in that. One third get no effect and one third actually are hurt. We were very, very lucky with him. Besides the medication, you had to have a purpose in life. And as strange as it sounds, his illness gave him a purpose.

And it turned me from a journalist into an advocate and gave me a purpose. So it's that finding that silver lining. And there's so many parents out there. There is no silver lining. I think the hardest thing, and I imagine it's true for autism too, is the hardest thing for me, and I still work on it, is accepting that I may not be able to save my own child.

Exactly.

Exactly.

Exactly.

Well, and also we have a system that is designed for failure. If you get sicker and sicker and sicker and sicker and sicker, eventually the system will react to you. Because of the civil rights movement that transferred in the 70s and 80s to mental health and the shuttering of all these horrible, a lot of horrible institutions. You know, I was in Portugal.

Nobody over there is scared of a mental hospital. They're run by nuns and it's just like any other hospital. Iceland, the same way. But in our country, the idea of a mental hospital is like terrifying to people. So what we've done is we have insisted that we get all these folks that we can and treat them in a community.

And actually, autism and Down syndrome, those folks really led the whole effort to deinstitutionalize. That has been fantastic for those who can be helped in those community settings and dangerous for those who cannot, who end up homeless on the street. I must say this, within our own communities, though, we have of prejudice.
