Nor did they realise that icy cold water has the exact opposite effect. The boy was severely autistic at a time before doctors understood the condition. As a result, he was subjected to experimental treatments, one of which seemed to bring the boy to a level of cognisance considered normal. It also brought out a streak of rage and violence.
