Hello all.
I was given 24 hours notice that my job was redundant (after 2 weeks consultation) 2 days later I had a meltdown/PTSD episode after not sleeping for 5 days and ended up with police detaining me (in handcuffs) under 136, dumbing me at A&E then when I tried to leave the hospital the A&E staff got the police to handcuffs me again so the police could take me to a “place safety” where I was then detained under section 2 and forced to take antipsychotic meds.
Does anyone have any experience with dealing with medical staff and the police before official diagnosis? From what I’ve read the police and medical professionals are supposed to treat as Autistic even if Autism is suspected.
Also does anyone know of local support groups in Gloucester/Cheltenham.
Thanks in advance.
omg i am so glad that someone understands it and went through it
i got sectioned twice under the s136 and once under s2 and i know how difficult it is
it is so hard especially when they have no idea about autism
i got injected by anti-psychotic
it is horrible
i am left terrified and totally traumatized
Damn that’s horrible.
yeah it really was
you're so predictable
i like predictability
Wise words
you're still young i have seen people end up in all sorts of jobs and places.
No-one can predict your future.
Cool see ya
not really but that is how residentials are
i got to go
good night
Wow you’ve done more in 16 years than I have in 34 I hope you’re happy where you are
well it is a long story
i lived in london from when i was born which is 2004
my mum moved us to manchester 2014
my my and dad separated 2012 / 2013
so when we moved to manchester my mum had 5 kids to look after in a 2 and a half bedroom house which is tiny for 6 people
we would constantly get abused and neglected by her
she would take her shoes off and hit us and being really horrible
i would look after the kids and cook and take them to the park whilst my brother would clean the house
my dad would come over every 2 weeks for the weekend which because i am Jewish is called Shabbat and should be celebrated every week
there was a rule and a formal agreement from the divorce jewish lawyers that my dad would take us on holiday every year
so the first year went great and for me was a nightmare but as long as no-one knows that's great
my mum would always go to israel to see her family
fast forward to the year of 2016
again my mum would stay up all night packing and i would be there to help her and then she would hand us over to my dad
that year it was totally different, i packed all 5 suitcases and i helped to pack hers
at that time i was 12 and 3 and a half months
and she told me don't tell anyone but i am never returning and yeah she didn't
the whole holiday i was terrified thinking how the rest of the family will find out
so my dad found out from his solicitor and the family were just told not sure by whom
fast forward a bit, i went to a foster carer that my dad new from the community
i loved it there
and then we lived at dads at 2017 and i had a lot of change and responsibility
and then i mentally crashed
had too much useless proffesionals with the wrong help at the very wrong time
so i went to A&E and said that i want to go into care
and 11 days of being in there
i met the perfect foster carer and my mental health kept on escalating and then that placement didn't work
so i went to a few others
add a dozen of hospital admissions and yeah
they found a residential home which i have been nearly a year which ois the longest placement i have had
so yeah that is how
Just wondering how did you come to being there
yeah
why???
You in a children’s home?
lol
Thanks that means a lot I’m wise in my head silly in person
well you come across wise and knowledgable
you can do anything you want as long as you are willing to put the work in
I hope it does happen I don’t have a dream job unless becoming a Jedi became real.
and that is alright
don't do something you don't love
and this is just my dream whether it happens or not that is out of my powers
Damn you want to be a police officer I’m just a humble shop worker on furlough
yeah i know
what do you think ?! that i spend my time saying i want to be a police officer without knowing these all????
i spent a lot of time researching and i have studied psychology
so i get it
i ask a lot of questions
so i do know what i am in for and what i want
u have seen that the police arrest people on request by someone but they do other things
1. paper work of their daily tasks/arrests attendance at incidents and traffic accident evidence
2 they appear in court to give evidence
3 they have to tell people when someone they love is dead
4 arrest people sometimes someone they know eg went to school with
5 rescue people from rivers and buildings on fire --- give cpr
