Églantine Éméyé is bereaved by the death of her 17-year-old son Samy with autism and multiple disabilities. For several years, the host has publicized her fight to support families who, like her, have to deal with disabilities. Faced with Daphné Roulier on LCP, the former model had spoken candidly about her daily life a few months ago.
It’s in a heartbreaking message on his account instagram that Eglantine Emeyé announced the tragic loss of her son on Wednesday February 22. ” Last night, at midnight, my little angel, my toothbrush thief, my little lion with such a gentle gaze, flew to the stars, after 13 days of struggle. she wrote at the time. A few days later, she thanked Internet users for their many messages of support, messages that accompanied her immense pain.
It must be said that for several years, the host has been keen to talk about the Samy’s disability. She even made a documentary, which shows the reality of a mother in the grip of helplessness in the face of a child who suffers, who self-mutilates. And the consequences on his family and in particular on Samy’s big brother, Marco. In front of Daphne Roulier on LCP Eglantine Emeyé tells her story, an everyday battle to accompany Samy, and the impression too often of being alone to live a course strewn with pitfalls.

After the diagnostic, the world falls on his head. It must be said that Samy’s troubles are heavy. Samy sleeps very little, bangs her head against the walls. His mother is helpless in the face of this malaise. “I fell from above” explains the mother, who waited a long time for words to be spoken about her son’s disability. “It’s very long”, followed by loneliness and medical wandering. 1 in 100 children respond to the diagnosis of autism, and yet parents are often very, too alone to manage the educational and behavioral care of their child.
“We are way behind” in the accompaniment of autistic explains the facilitator…“every gesture with my son was subject to a very strict protocol, everything was very complicated, I was accused of many things because I wanted to test alternative methods. I was accused of wanting to hurt him” adds the former model who explained to have “used methods, on the sly”like many parents.
