An exhausted mum with a child with severe autism is calling on the Australian government to do more for children with special needs while in hotel quarantine.
Brenna Russell, 29, arrived in Sydney four days ago from Los Angeles and has been quarantining in Zetland’s Meriton Suites with her severely autistic son.
She has bruises on her arms from her son’s tantrums and she also fears for his safety.
Five year old Sebastien Russell has autism, ADHD, seizures, and a genetic variation of the NFIX gene that hasn’t been found before.
