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
this , what does this mean ?
