自閉癥男孩4年未進食

Four-year-old boy Daniel Harrison is so frightened of food and drink that he hasn't eaten for four years, the Daily Mail reports. His problem began when he suffered a severe case of acid reflux as a baby. Because he also suffers from autism, the memory has stopped him from eating anything solid since. Daniel's phobia means the only way of feeding him is through a tube in his stomach. Experts have so far found no way to help Daniel. "There is nothing medically stopping our son from eating. It is in his mind, but there has been nobody yet that has managed to help him overcome that", his parents said.

據英國《每日郵報》報道，英國4歲的小男孩丹尼爾?哈里森因恐懼食物和飲料，4年來從未吃過任何東西。他的問題始于嬰兒時的一次胃酸回流；由于患有自閉癥，從那以后，痛苦的記憶使得他不能吃任何固體食物。丹尼爾的癥狀意味著，他必須通過胃部插管輸營養液來補給身體所需。專家稱他們找不到任何辦法幫助丹尼爾。他父母稱：“目前沒有任何藥物可以醫治我們的兒子，因為心病還須心藥醫，可是沒有任何人能夠幫助他克服心魔。”
