It is fairly popular for parents to at least request surgery for their disabled children to make life easier for the parents. This is why, for example, Ashley X was subjected to rather invasive procedures to effectively halt her growth.
Right now my inclination is to view this as something like what was done to Ashley X or what Katie Thorpe's mother wants to do to Katie Thorpe. Or the autistic man whose teeth were removed Essentially, surgically altering disabled people to make life easier on parents and carers.
I am dubious that this was the best, most humane solution. I am fairly certain it was the most expedient.

I have to agree on this. Waiting for them to bring back the leucotomy now.
When I first read this post ending the comments about sensory overload I immediately got upset because I thought that they were shutting down the boys ability to communicate because they didn't like it or they thought it was too loud or embarrassing and wanted to make her kid look normal to be able to drag him into what for him might be sensory hell i'm not realizing that her son was doing this as the ability to cope and needed help coping with the situation .
But this might not be the case and his screaming could be like seizures and to hidden be like a constant headache or constantly having the hiccups .
Either of these might be the case but until we hear from the boy himself we will never know.
For me although I do have meltdowns in those situations I cannot overnight screen because doing so well not only where my voice but give me a headache I don't know if this is a conscious or subconscious decision with every scenario or it's all scenarios or varies. Often times I will become silent and quiet and sometimes I will throw up or would so nauseated exhausted or dizzy to the point where I can't eat much less have the energy to yell scream and do the stereo typical behavior. Although I do have meltdowns like this they don't come nearly as often.
