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
yeah people always tell me that
Yes but a warning time goes extremely fast I remember being 16 and it does not feel like 18 years ago more 8 or 9 years.
cool i am in the all clear now
really ???
are you just being nice so you can take advantage of me??
Don’t worry I thought 30 was old when I was 16.

i don't mean it in a malicious way
i am not that age so i don't actually know
Ummm not quite sure
I get called rude often
I get told to take responsibility for your actions
I get told use the strategies that are put into place
I know that i am a waste of people's time
damn what’s 34 then?
tell me, what have u done wrong ?
that is great peace of unneeded information
i am not good and i no i ain't
its my belief system ( not religion ) -----> Zen Buddhism
everyone is already inherently good and pure and perfect
the problem is most people do not see their own goodness
when u see ur own goodness u are at peace with yourself and the world
thats why I think you Leah are good
,
no, I didn't get out today
as I told you I will do it on Sunday
well i am not good but i will be
well i hope
why do you think i am good??
Leah is good, fact ! no argument there.
did u paint ur nails ?
did u get out today ?
i am good
yes u are allowed to hate it
but u still have the choice to do it
accept the hate feeling but do the change anyway, thats how to do it.
no that is not correct
i hate changes
that doesn't surprise me it what u do in response to change
a. accept it learn and grow with it
b. panic, retract, and resist the change
so u're going to change, isnt that right ?
research shows that even neurotypicals don't like change
don't say what??
oh, that is totally justifiable. is there any practice i can do to help you ???
i may understand how you feel. it can be frightening for people.
