Without describing the sort of "treatment" how is one supposed to

And is she suffering from her stage or is it just that the parents or
society are too intolerant to have someone being different and try to
force that person away from what is natural for them?

Internal segregation.
Different reaction to incoming signals.
Different connection and use of areas of the brain....
