WARNING: Disturbing footage: Mom Discovers Autistic Son in Drug-Induced Crisis, during HOSPITAL stay, while nurses and doctors fail to notice! Patient was given drug Haldol, which is listed on his chart as a drug NOT to give. They gave it anyway. Video illuminates patient abuse and neglect of severely-autistic patients/persons inside hospital and institutional settings. Hospitals are seldom equipped to deal with severe autism and complex medical or behavioral issues.

Autistic Adult in Crisis Goes Unnoticed
I am absolutely outraged, shocked and sickened.
ReplyDeleteI tried to watch this video and just couldn't take it. That poor boy. And I don't know how his mother stood up during this episode.
ReplyDeleteDo they do this to him often? We don't know, but I have a bad feeling neglect is common here.
