loopy drug treatment for autists?

This concerns me a lot, 5 years ago my son who is very challenging was prescribed rispiredrone, he ended up in a hospital bed with an impacted bowel on 1mg 2x a day, worse still he had cog rigidity, he was on a placement as he was very, very dangerous, once he was on it no one cared, the social services threatened me, we brought him home & DR Barnard visited we did a horrific withdrawal, & it was reported to the BMA.

If people think this is ok at all, vulnerable people will be pounced on, the perception is so negative, others are so desperate they will allow anything. Plus the most vulnerable will not have anyone to say no! Yes we are open to research and live in hope, but proper regulation is needed.

I never knew why many of the older people I worked with initially as a carer walked funnily, when I first started work in support, until an elderly carer pulled me to one side & told me that it was the medication given in the institutions.

This is also why I was worried about signing the petition to aknowledge mental health issues in people with autism, it gives the ignorant or pedjudiced a power that frightens me!
