4/41 Mother [
413]'s report:
Just before [
2501] was four years old she was given an
antitoxin serum for diphtheria. Shortly after this, I began
to notice the development of peculiar habits. When eating,
she would move her hands turning and twisting them before
picking up her fork or spoon. Her face began to twitch at
times and when she walked, her limbs would jerk and twitch.
She developed a bad disposition become extremely irritable.
I endeavored to correct these habits and would hardly get one
under control before something else would develop. As [
2501]
grew older, she began to have violent tantrums. These grew
worse and I was unable to control them.
She was extremely indifferent about her school work but would
at the last minute study very hard and barely get by.
By the time she had reached the third year in high school,
it became necessary to take her out of school. She continued
to have difficulty with the teachers and would on occasions
create scenes that could not be tolerated in school.
When I first came to secure reading, her condition had
reached the point where she would do nothing for herself. It
was necessary to bathe and at times feed her and she could
not be counted on to maintain any sense of poise, regardless
of surroundings. I had grown frantic. Doctors with whom
I talked considered her condition a nervous disorder and
suggested marriage [last three words crossed out].
I had reached what seemed to be the limit of my endurance and
seriously considered any step that would mean relief.
[
2501] is now a normal person, married happily, and has a
family of two children. The second child winning a health
prize.
9/25/42 She secured another Physical Reading - See
2501-12.
