Four-years-old Charlotte from Lanarkshire, suffers from autism and another rare disease. Because of her rare disease the child constantly takes to her mouth fabric, including curtains and carpets. Charlotte's mother fears that her daughter may die from this illness.

The four-year-old child suffers a rather rare disease, which is called Pica disorder. The girl's mother Nikki,  told, that everything in their house made from fabric is torn apart – carpets, upholstery, etc. Moreover, according to the girl's mother, the girl eats even her toys made of soft fabric materials. Pediatrician advised her to call the emergency service each time, when Charlotte starts to eat fabric.

Charlotte's father Alasdair told, that first time they noticed something was wrong with the girl, when she was a year old, and she chewed the carpet. The first signs of her autism began to appear around the same time, reports the Daily Record.

The most horrible thing in this story is, that there is no specialist, who can help the child and her parents. Doctors advise to take from house everything, that is made from fabric. Meanwhile, Nicky and Alistair say that such an option would not be sufficient. They are attempting to help their daughter involving different charity funds.
