    A TEENAGER who suffers from an extremely rare condition means if he falls asleep unassisted - he dies.Liam Derbyshire was born with Ondine’s Curse, officially known as Congenital Central Hypoventilation Syndrome, which causes respiratory arrest due to a patient’s lungs not functioning when they are asleep. The condition, which affects less than 1500 worldwide, means the 17-year-old has to be plugged into a life support machine and watched by a carer every night to keep him alive. Doctors gave Liam just six weeks to live after birth, but later this year the young man from Gosport, South Hampshire, is turning 18 and has truly defied all odds.

      3 days?! Don't be ridiculous. You don't even start hallucinating at that point. My friends and I often go 3 or so days while no lifing video games. I think you were thinking of something else: it's when you don't drink anything for 3 days you can die.

      Backup battery. That device I would say 4-8 hours of battery life. If it went beyond that I am sure he would be arranged to be driven or flown to a hospital with power. And as a last resort probably generators - though if it were to come to that...I am sure they'd rather not think about it. I suppose they could hand vent him for a bit or literally keep him awake with medication for as long as possible. But of course that will have its limits too.

      tbh im not one with the big brains or data. That was purely my opinion on it, i wouldn't completely disagree if someone was against it (some peoples just dont want health care because its paid for from tax and they don't want their money to be used by someone else)

He's going into his teens soon and I don't know what to expect, I'm so terrified and sad for him that life has to be different. With Liam you add a few more years and Ondine's disease?

      My son was very difficult in his younger years, destroying things, eating raw meat out of the fridge at night, pooping in his pants, I worried that would always be how he was. But he changed a lot in the past 4-5 years. He's calmed down, isn't destructive, finally potty trained, but over all much more manageable and personable. He still won't hold a conversation, but he does talk and a lot and well, it's just usually scripting his favorite RUclipsrs.

      @ashk4512 6 лет назад +15

      I have autistic members in my family. The severeness ranges from person to person but they all mantain jobs and families of their own. Don't discourage and/or look down on your kid. He'll do great, no matter the struggles.
      Also, people with autism are extremely intelligent but rarely get the oppertunity to really showcase it. So let your kid explore his space around him and give him the tools so that he may figure out his strengths and weaknesses.
      A doctor once told me. "Neurotypical see a lot of trees together and think 'oh, that's a forest.' but people with autism look at the ground, they look at the flowers and mushrooms and from that base that it is indeed a forest." "people with autism are in no way less intelligent. they just view the world in a different light, and so, express themselves differently.
      Just because he is 'different' doesn't at all diminish his quality or life or make him less likely to succeed with his life.
      take care!

    Stupid question, but how did they discover this when he was a new born? I would have thought soon after being born he would have fallen asleep and passed away before anyone knew any better

      Josh T maybe they noticed he wasnt breathing when falling asleep because you dont imieditly die because of not breathing it takr a while from you to die from that (*at least I think I of course am stating what I think would be the case*) so maybe this continued on like maybe they kept an eye on him so then thry relized within time of him not breathing during sleep he would die? I dont truely have an answer of course please understand im saying what I think happened for them to figure out this man's condition.
      May he live a happy life
