Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
S04E17 The Tate Family
In Austin, TX, the O'Donnell family undergoes a dramatic transformation. Patrick and Jeanette O'Donnell's story is both unique and poignant, as they are the parents of six kids, five of whom have been diagnosed with various forms of autism. This situation is particularly uncommon, with no other recorded cases in the U.S. of a family with five autistic children. The challenges they face include difficulties with communication, social interactions, and severe physical issues. Caitlin, their eldest at 15, and Kiernan, their youngest at 5, experience the most intense symptoms of classic autism and are expected to remain with their family for life.
