Our son, too, is suffering Post Traumatic Stress Disorder from the use of prone restraint WHILE in seclusion. He was being restrained as a punishment for his behavior. He was never in danger of hurting anyone - only disruptive. We are still in the healing process. I look forward to getting past the flight or fright response. Glad to hear Charlie is doing so well!
