Hello all!
So I was figuring this probably happens more than it should but was curious if others had a similar experience. My teen is recovering from SH, but slips up a little bit. One thing they have done a couple of times is taken more than the recommended dose of Tylenol but still less than the max dose. The last time they got anxiety after and wanted to make sure they didn’t cause any damage. We get to the hospital and they see they’re autistic and what they did and it’s like nothing I say matters so they put them on SI watch. We are forced to wait for a psych from Teladoc for close to 6 hours, and despite us telling them multiple times there is no danger for SI. The psych finally comes online and is constantly cutting me off, not listening to me try to explain things etc…then just says he’s putting in an order to have them hospitalized. I explained to the doctor and charge nurse how this is dangerous as they do also have cPTSD and as they are not in crisis or even depressed this can make their trauma worse. They told me I could leave, but it would be AMA but they would need to report me to CPS. I have had similar experiences a bunch of times, even a psych dropping me when I told her I got my AuDHD diagnosis. Also just want to provide even anecdotal evidence that other parents experience this treatment when I talk to the case worker.
