Unemployed again!

good.  if someone did that to me  I would sue them in the courts

where were  you when this happened ?

yeah it really was 

ni i am not 

but i was severely distressed and violent and simply in the wrong environment 

police were called and everything 

it was so horrible to have to go through that

Damn that’s horrible.

r u psychotic  as well ? 

yeah i got handcuffed too 

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  

How can anyone rationalise the use of handcuffs on a 73 year old woman as “safe”. 

Hear about what the cops did to the mum of an ex-Corrie Star who simply wanted to spend time with her ninety-eight-year-old mum?

Makes my blood boil!

So sorry for your experience, it’s not acceptable that you were made to feel ashamed for being yourself. I hope that you have been able to find the support and care you need since diagnosis. 

Actually Yes, I have been detained in a police cell because of an autism meltdown and its not something i am proud with, The officers did not recognise it as autism meltdown and no diagnosis at the time. they had to handcuffed me and placed me into a holding cell. which made thing worse because of the police station lights made the meltdown worse until i knocked myself unconscious against the walls in the police cell. after the meltdown twelve hours later i was unable to speak and they took that as confession of guilt and took me back home where my step father triggered another meltdown which then later on turned into a suicide attempt because i did not want to keep experience meltdown repeatedly and i was in hospital the next day because of an overdose where i went non verbal again and the mental health nurse written i was unwilling to cooperate.

Crisis team in my experience was pointless, they will ring you every other day to check on you and possible bring a doctor out to prescribe you medication that made everything worse. 

You should contact your local adult social services to acquire and sign post you to support organisations.      

1. I asked a jogger/ passerby outside my house to call the police because I needed help, I’d already called crisis team and 111 no response from the crisis team and 111 said someone would call back within 2 hours. 

2. Irrelevant in terms of policy to treat service user as autistic when autism is suspected. I was referred for evaluation in February 2020 NHS waiting list is 2 year +

3. I haven’t been diagnosed with PTSD. 10/10 ACEs including ACE-DV unable to not see flashbacks as think in pictures and memories are like colour videos.

4. No. Bloods were taken and told I had a high white blood cell count and were waiting on results. It wasn’t until I tried to leave the hospital and became agitated then being restrained by A&E nurse who I kicked and struggled to escape from because the pain in my wrist was unbearable (having been in handcuffs for 3 hours previously) and just told I was unwell and needed “treatment”. The next day my right wrist was bruised in a perfect circle the whole of the back of my hand up to elbow was bruised and I had nerve damage in thumb and was numb for 3 weeks.

how did the police get involved ?  what where u doing to get taken by them to A&E

what makes you think you are autistic ?

where u diagnosed with PTSD ?

while held under 136 where u assessed / diagnosed with anything ?

Damn that’s messed up I was lucky enough to just about afford private diagnosis of autism last month COVID has ruined everything.

Yes, been told to except 2 year plus waiting list. 

Hello sorry to hear about your meltdown and horrible experience are you waiting on the nhs for a assessment?
