Is it just me or does this girl seem more AS or schizophreic

Analyzing.

All of these animals she speaks of.

They all live in Calalini is the border of "my world and your world (this world)"

Jani Likes Calalini better than this world.

Her father wrote in his blog:

http://www.furiousseasons.com/archives/ ... _girl.html

""We tried everything. Positive reinforcement. Negative reinforcement. Hitting her back (I won't tell you how many people told us that all she needed was a good beating). We took all her toys away. We gave her toys away. We tried starving her. We did EVERYTHING we could to try and break her. Nothing worked."




Cat 400- bad friend

24 hours- a person

Monday-Sunday

Wednesday - is the worst one because she tells her to hit.

Sycamore- cat



When the girl told Oprah NO I DON'T WANT TO TALK, the father asked "what about Wednesday?" Jani replied, she's still here swimming. Then he asked "What about 400?" Jani replied "No she just left".

Could she have associated Oprah as 400 the bad friend and everyone she thinks of as a bad friend as cat 400 or is Cat 400 the girl's bad friend alarm?


Monday-Sunday. 24 hours. Drugs and a person.

Wednesday the rat, the worst one. Is she put on a medication that makes her violent?

I noticed that the dad makes sure she has similar routines and a dry erase board the same as the hospital she goes to. Sameness and routine.


She's on the drugs:

Clozaril- 200 mgs a day

Lithium- 600 mgs a day

600 minus 200= 400.


"Clozaril is the last resort for adult schizophrenics" the mother said.


She seems to speak in codes. When she visited the other girl in the hospital, both had imaginary friends with numbers assigned. Both had stims.

The girl named Becca. She spoke of an imaginary dog named 40. Becca is also put on anti-psychotics. When asked if they get rid of the shadows that she sees she replies no.


I think both are speaking in code relating to actual experiences of their lives and have assigned imaginary characters and number associations to what is really going on in their reality.

Perhaps Calalini, the world in between both her world and this world is actually the drug world.

I am not sure what's really going on. She could be autistic. She could be schizophrenic. She could be having a worse time on these drugs. She could be trying to give a message in her own way that she's not happy with her home life could be a combination of scenarios. She's trying to say something and it's not good

Childhood schizophrenia is rare. The parents thought she had a bunch of imaginary friends and had a hyperactive imagination. They didn't start doing anything until she got violent at age five. So they started taking her in and she got diagnosed at age six.

When you watch the whole video, you see it is schizophrenia because the parents explain the animals tell her to do things. The thing is, she doesn't like it either and what they tell her to do but she can't get rid of them like normal kids can with their imaginary friends. She hit a kid on the playground because her hallucinations told her to and she didn't want to hit the boy but she did because she was told to.

Autistic people don't have hallucinations and they don't do things because the voices told them too. This little girl can't get rid of all these animals she sees because they're all real to her. Normal kids can get rid of their imaginary friends but this girl can't.

I get the impression Jani is being exploited, abused and driven crazy with meds. She may have really had aspergers but now is dealing with parents who suffer from Munchausen by Proxy. The father got a book deal too. The father wrote in his own blog in the about me section before he took it down:

http://www.januaryfirst.org/www.january ... ut_Me.html

"We tried everything. Positive reinforcement. Negative reinforcement. Hitting her back (I won't tell you how many people told us that all she needed was a good beating). We took all her toys away. We gave her toys away. We tried starving her. We did EVERYTHING we could to try and break her. Nothing worked."

"The violence became so bad that at times Susan and I both lost it and hit Jani as hard as we could. We hit in impotent rage.

We got a referral to a psychiatrist.

Two months later, Janni was hospitalized for the first of what has since been four times, but in truth will be many more times.

Today, Jani is no longer a brat. Today, Jani is schizophrenic."



Anytime there is any responsibility involving Jani, Jani is taken back to a shrink or the psych ward. Did her parents even want her?

http://advancedcognitivepsychology.blog ... -with.html

On Thursday, June 25, Jani's blood test results came back. Her thyroid levels were abnormal and there was blood in her urine. She complained of constant itching.

Susan stayed home in Bodhi's apartment while Michael turned off the lights in Jani's apartment and drove her to UCLA.

January Schofield was re-admitted to UCLA's Resnick Neuropsychiatric Hospital later that day.

"It was really hard to take her back," Michael says. "It feels like a failure. We really wanted to make it work."

Jani's doctors at UCLA have decided to wean her off her current medications and try Clozaril, a last-ditch anti-psychotic that carries the risk of severe side effects. In the meantime, the Schofields are completing paperwork seeking to have Jani admitted to a study on child schizophrenia at the National Institute of Mental Health in Bethesda, Md.

At least the parents aren't abusive anymore. They even said in the video they don't know what is normal behavior and what is schizophrenic behavior so they don't know when to discipline her because they can't tell the difference. It sounds like she no longer gets punishments because of her illness.

She takes pills three times a day and the parents say she is better on them and without them she is more violent.

They said she also has to be entertained and she can't do it herself because of her hallucinations. They distract her.

Good for the little girl, for sticking up, for herself!

My Münchhausen alert is slightly vibrating. I really wonder why they would be stupid enough to have another kid. Even if they didn't know she had an illness, she was obviously a handful before the brother was born. Was the second baby a contingency? Its like the first one wasn't quite right so they need a do-over. I wonder if the doctors ever checked her for poisoning?

I just did a search on this girl- the results are extensive. It is like the Jon and Kate BS only with a mental illness. I wonder when TLC will have a show on her, if they had not before.

I seriously hope Jani makes it through this alive.
Her parents are the ones who are crazy.

Just read some of this:

When I got to the hospital tonight, Janni was screaming that she couldn't swallow and was crying. She had developed distonic symptoms again, which is when the muscles in the body begin to lock up from the effects of the Thorazine she is on (300 mg-enough to make Jeffrey Dahmer a vegetarian). It makes her look like she having a stroke. She drools and slurs her words as half her face falls. It's treatable with Benadryl but scary as hell. So the docs at UCLA Resnick Neuropsych reduced her Thorazine dose. Within minutes she is crawling along the walls of the psych ward and talking to animals in the sky. When we got there for visiting hours she was screaming she couldn't swallow. But she could. It was totally psychotic. I took her in my arms and sat in a office chair, sliding back and forth across her room and saying "wheee!" It was a desperate gamble that I could still reach her. That's how I know how psychotic she is. If I do something wacky or silly and she laughs, I know she is still with me. I didn't get a laugh tonight, but she smiled. She is still with me...

She'd been talking about the rats for awhile (she is back to insisting they are real-these are the rats in her head) but now the violence is back. 400 the cat has reappeared after a long absence, and 400 cat is a bad cat that tells her to hit and scream (which she is also back to doing).

She is on 300 mg a day of Seroquel is doing nothing. They need to up her Thorazine from 100 mg a day as that is the only thing that works.

However, we are frustrated because the staff and doctors seem to thinking that it is just her "imagination" again, and considering autism and Asperger's (even though this has already been ruled out time and time again). Yes, she "self-stems" as they call it, rubbing her hands together real fast....but that and the "autistic" behaviors went away at 300 mg of Thorazine. I don't know why in the hell they are so resistant to labeling her "schizophrenic" but yet so eager to label her "Asperger's." Is schizophrenia really so much worse? But she f*****g talks to animals and people who aren't there! And she is violent! That isn't autism! That's psychosis! I feel like we are just going around and around in f*****g circles here.




In conclusion, these parents WANT their kid to be labeled schizophrenic. They are making money off of her, the father already admitted to hitting her and starving her. The father wants this girl to appear psychotic for his own reasons. It's obvious. It's a shame that this little girl could die because of her dumb parents and they will of course blame it on her being "psychotic". I suspect they didn't want her, view her as a burden, want her to be psychotic and treat the little boy better than her which is why she started getting "violent" when he was born. They don't deserve this gifted child who most likely has aspergers and now will become psychotic thanks to the meds.

Their willingness to accept victim status as parents throws up some alarms too.

I know, and Susan knows, that we have had horrible fights over the past six years. Before I was on Lexapro, some of them were violent. I have had to recall a memory of once trying to throw Susan out of our moving car because I was so angry.


This requires some explanation.


Unfortunately, Jani saw some of my violent rages. She has seen me hit her mother and her mother hit me back. Surprisingly, no matter how violent or difficult she might be in the moments before I went off, she would always grow calm, almost maternal when I did. She would calmly tell me to calm down, parroting back to me all the things Susan and I would say to her when she raged. When that failed, and Susan and Jani had to leave, as they sometimes did, Jani would comfort Susan and tell her it would be okay, that "sometimes Daddy just gets angry."


So what would set me off?


It was always the little things. Perhaps something would spill on the floor (I did most of the cleaning). Perhaps we lacked money to pay bills (I paid the bills), but I am talking about not being able to make a credit card payment, not being put out on the street. Things that since then I have come to understand are no big deal. But then, before Lexapro, I could feel the anger building inside of me, but be unable to stop it. Even during my most violent rages, a small voice inside my head would be telling me "You are going to regret this, Michael." I could see the fear in Jani's eyes. I could see in the pain and anguish in Susan's eyes. But I could not stop. It was a bizarre experience. I was rational, yet not in control of my emotions. There was so much rage in me that I wanted to hurt. Because I was hurt. And I wanted the world to feel my pain.


I suspect that some variation of this is what Jani experiences.



I suspect that this is also what serial killers experience. The only difference between them and me is I eventually listen to that voice telling me what I was doing was wrong.

I do wonder whether she may not have more of a problem with impulsivity and anger control than anything else. Worse, she's been taught that when she does something impulsively, it's the disease and the solution is to take her meds. That's not the way to teach a kid to self-regulate.
