I am a 44 yo with a rare type of autism. Every docotr since i was a kid NEVER diagnosed it. They would rather blame me for everything and jail me for having NO CLUE. Doctors are terrible people.
@westshideasss I was diagnosed high functioning autism at age 6. But they said labeling me would be bad and since I have a high IQ they recommended doing nothing. At 40 I tried to get help.. They locked me in a mental hospital and forced dangerous drugs on me. This made my problems much worse. I really hate to say, anyone who is autistic has a very rough road, not for being autistic, but because of the normal people.
@cyclenut No offense, but if you have High Function Autism or PDD-NOS than you can't honestly relate to this video. You're a lot better off me friend, you may have had a tough time finding your place in the world and had your share of personal set backs but you are a world away from knowing the horrors of this type of Autism. These adults can't even communicate their most basic needs and are barely in touch with reality, it's like a totally different form with a totally different set of issues.
Dont know where you live, but I work with Austtic children and our program the students stay with us until their 22, try calling lower pioneer valley educational collaborative in westspringfield, MA for more info, or advice. :)
I'm so sorry you are struggling with this! I KNOW exactly what you mean. I'm going to go check out more of your videos. Hang TOUGH. Don't give up. Keep fighting. Yes, it's true, the state will prefer to dump your adult autistic populations into state institutions so they can stick them with an IM injection of haldol, mellaril, thorazine, geodon, you name it. Ironically, it's CHEAPER for state to pay for HOME care, then instituional care. No wonder we have a budget crisis.
