Fabricated or induced illness: A narrative Review

If you are an autistic parent and have been accused of fabricating or inducing illness and are willing to be interviewed for my research I would be very grateful. Email me: [email protected]

@FiGullonScott @EstherMaile @Neurodiversit19 @SheffieldLuke @Allison66746425 @fiightback @ParentsAutistic @ShefParentForum @acctsheffield Doesn't surprise me. And a lot of the ones who think they are NT probably have some characteristics at least. The 'weirdness' makes you a target

@LaurenMedlicott Most of the mums (it is usually women who are accused) are just carers to ill or disabled children and are struggling to manage. They need support not to be accused of child abuse

[FII Research @FiiResearch]

@LaurenMedlicott You ought to write about fabricated or induced illness and the injustices as autistic mums get accused of it and sometimes lose their children. The problem is paediatrician's are seen as the experts but they don't realise how many autistic kids have hidden physical disabilities

[Tanya Adkin @TanyaAdkin]

"The concept of unmasking can oftentimes (in my experience) create somewhat of a secondary identity crisis. You unconsciously consider yourself not neurotypical enough, but also not Autistic enough."

@JosephMGriffin2 @court_crisis Ok it's in the guidance that that is what is supposed to happen. You can't recover from being an FII perpetrator if you don't admit it. No win.

@GillLoomesQuinn Good luck

Yes many of our mothers are accused of fabricating their child’s illnesses!

[FII Research @FiiResearch]

@EstherMaile @Neurodiversit19 @SheffieldLuke @Allison66746425 @fiightback @ParentsAutistic @ShefParentForum @acctsheffield @FiGullonScott Also many parents are autistic but don't realise it cos their needs are so different to their child's. So that would have added to the complication too.

But I am very aware it is not just autistic parents this affects. Any parent of a disabled child is at risk of being accused

[FII Research @FiiResearch]

@EstherMaile @Neurodiversit19 @SheffieldLuke @Allison66746425 @fiightback @ParentsAutistic @ShefParentForum @acctsheffield There is some research that included them by one of @FiGullonScott 's PhD students. I almost included them but it got complicated as there will be different reasons. Hopefully I will do more research after this though.

[Family Court Crisis @court_crisis]

"Fabricated or induced illness" (FII) is a sinister term which, like "parental alienation", is routinely used to undermine mothers, and fathers, who battle for healthcare and educational support for their children. It is the new term for Munchausen's Syndrome by Proxy.

[FII Research @FiiResearch]

@court_crisis It gives paediatrician full control, no mental health professional needed

[FII Research @FiiResearch]

@court_crisis Also FII is more inclusive than Munchausen's by proxy and other names/definitions used. You don't even need to have lied, being 'over anxious' is enough.

That is a deliberate change so it is easier to prove (but just means over identification is even worse).

Just let that sink in for a bit 🤯😫😢
