This blog is to educate parents and educators in Saudi Arabia about children who suffer from different types of disabilities. Without the proper knowledge and background information, it is difficult for 1 to meet the needs of those who are in need of Tender, Love and Care (TLC). With this information I am hoping more children can be nurtured and cared for properly, while parents and educators are educated and enlightened.

Kleine - Levin Syndrome (Sleeping Beauty Syndrome)
Below is an article (in English) about a teenage girl who suffers from what is nicknamed "Sleeping Beauty Syndrome". It is a neurological disorder that causes one to sleep for long periods of time (reported cases say up to 8 weeks) and also causes Jekell and Hyde personality changes.

Additionally, there is an article from "Time" magazine about the disorder and treatments for it.
