She has been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder and has a history of developmental delay, constipation, and aggressive outbursts since early childhood. At the age of 24\u2009years, she developed an acute onset of persistent daily auditory hallucinations with threatening content that was refractory to medical and electroconvulsive therapy.
