註釋He was getting better¿ until he wasn't. After years of steady progress through autism therapies, biomedical support, and unwavering love, a mother watches her son suddenly change - this time into rage, confusion, regression, and loss. What they would discover was a hidden childhood autoimmune encephalitis - a brain attack triggered by the immune system after infection, causing sudden psychiatric symptoms like OCD, rage, anxiety, tantrums, emotional instability, and developmental regression. PANDAS (Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcal Infections) and PANS (Pediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome) are childhood autoimmune brain attacks that can emerge suddenly after common infections, transforming a child's mind and behavior almost overnight. Yet because the symptoms can look psychiatric rather than physical, many children are tragically misdiagnosed, dismissed, or untreated - allowing the brain inflammation to worsen. Early recognition and integrative biomedical support can be critical in promoting recovery. Environmental triggers, hidden infections, and lifestyle factors may all contribute to the "total load" that overwhelms a vulnerable child's immune system. Addressing the root causes - not just suppressing symptoms - becomes the key to real healing. Twice Taken is a grounded and heartfelt memoir of one family's battle through the devastating onset of PANDAS and PANS, the confusion of missed diagnoses, and the hard road to recovery. Told with calm honesty, it offers clarity for families facing childhood autoimmune encephalitis and hope for those still searching for answers. In these pages, you'll find: ¿ The quiet victories of raising a nonverbal child ¿ The sudden disappearance after a simple illness ¿ A clear look at PANDAS, PANS, and autoimmune brain attacks ¿ The reality of IVIG, relapse, and long-term recovery ¿ The importance of early detection and integrative approaches ¿ A healing planner to track labs, supplements, symptoms, and more If your child changed overnight and no one believed you... If you are tired, scared, and still fighting for answers... Twice Taken is for you.
