Giovanna Ewbank vents on her son’s syndrome: “I thought it was freshness”

Actress Giovanna Ewbank was moved to say her son Bless (8) has a syndrome that affects his basic senses, such as hearing, touch and smell. The conversation was born during the latest episode of the “Quem Pode, Pod” podcast.

According to the presenter, the sensory syndrome was recently diagnosed with the little one. “How important it is for us to look, in fact, at our children. For us to really understand our children. During the pandemic, Bless started having some… [ficar] very airy, [fazendo] some things I found a bit strange,” Gioh said.

“And I started thinking that he might have some degree of autism, something like that. And I started looking for doctors to figure out what it was. All the doctors said that ‘no, he doesn’t have some degree of autism, that’s no’ Until until I found a doctor in São Paulo who diagnosed my son with sensory syndrome: he hears more than all of us, hears more than all of us, smells more than all of us,” he said.

Giovanna Ewbank confessed that, until then, she hadn’t cared about little Bless’s complaints and regretted having believed that it was about the boy’s “freshness”. “I started realizing and feeling very guilty,” she complained.

“Several times he would pass, for instance, by the kitchen, and say, ‘Oh, what a strong smell!’ she would trample the grass and say, ‘Oh, no, get me out of here, I don’t want to trample the grass!” in the middle of the bush – where we often go – because the noise of the flies bothered him. He said, “There are a lot of flies here!” and I said, ‘Son, there are no flies’.”

The model, who said she felt sheer guilt when diagnosed with Bless, also warned parents or guardians to stay alert to children’s complaints.

“We had to understand, observe, adapt. And today Bless lives wonderfully well with this sensory syndrome. But it took my gaze, Bruno’s gaze [Gagliasso], the look of several doctors so as to understand the condition of Bless and that it was not frills. It could be that, all of a sudden, I could think it was freshness for the rest of my life and not look directly at it,” she concluded.
