From what I could gleam surfing though the replies on Facebook, it appears that Carly had posted something a while back about wanting to seek treatment for some of her severe symptoms of co-morbid OCD, and it is speculated that the ECT may have been the treatment that was ultimately sought out. Supposedly, ECT is supposed to have some effect on severe OCD. Then again, I do not know Carly or her family, so I cannot say for certain what was going on.
I agree, though, that other avenues should have been considered, especially since so little is known about the autistic brain and, thus, what effects sending high voltages of electricity through this may have. I do wish Carly the utmost healing and peace.
