Evie is younger in this photo. This photo was taken during a research study in 2009. Shared with permission.
Videos from when Evie was 4 show her starting the behaviour of self-biting and punching/grabbing others. 5 years on these behaviours are much worse and cause Evie lots of problems.
Evie has a lot of difficulties and behavioural issues but she is cheeky, funny and happy a lot of the time!
