The facilitator wanted to reassure the parents of autistic children: “It is not because one is autistic that one dies at 17 years old. It has nothing to do “.
When one of the journalists asked her if she did not feel a kind of relief to think that her son was no longer in pain, Églantine Éméyé did not evade the question. “I asked my eldest son to accept this idea to help him too. I know that my eldest son was very distressed (…) at the idea that one day he would be responsible for his brother. I told him : ‘Also allow yourself ambivalent feelings and tell yourself that there is a part in you that is relieved‘”, she explained with great frankness.
“As a mom, it’s more difficult, because it’s my baby (…) but part of me clings to the idea that he will never suffer once more”, confided Églantine Éméyé with emotion.

This interview was also an opportunity to launch an appeal to the state: “we must create places”, enjoined Églantine Éméyé, who also revealed that, in the case of non-verbal autism, medical care might sometimes arrive a little too late. “We can have autistic children and adults who suffer for too long before a doctor agrees to look at them, treat them and understand the disease (…) It is a handicap that is very difficult to manage”, she admitted. “There are a lot (of people with autism) who sometimes have to be taken care of very very early so that families don’t sink,” said the facilitator. However, she wanted to deliver a message of support to parents of autistic children: “Hold on, we will never let you down”.
