When an adult patient at Loyola University Medical Center with autism began acting violently due to a paradoxical reaction to a medication that was meant to calm him down, security officers at the Chicago hospital calmed him without using force, according to an article on the Campus Safety website.
The officers start to play a game with the man to distract him.
“Walker gets up!” the officers applauded as Walker jumped off the examination table. “Walker sits back down!” they cheered again as they helped Walker back onto the table. The officers then cheered “Walker scoots back” and “Walker lies down.” And Walker did, the article said.
The officers continued playing games with Walker, including singing and dancing, for two-and-a-half hours as doctors administered treatment.
