Many of the kids I've worked with already feel isolated to a great degree. They don't feel like there's anybody to talk to even when times are "normal". This is only my gut feeling but I expect these kids got to the point where they couldn't go outside even if they wanted to. It's a sort of social paralysis. And it's really, really hard to get them to trust anyone in a position of seniority (it took me months of continuous contact to get in with some of my kids) because they're used to psychological problems being dismissed as something that should be solved with the next super pill.
