Human rights violations and discrimination in healthcare system

I've just put in a complaint with the commission of human rights because  the  hospital keep heightening me, then shooing me away and refusing cancer treatment.

 

They are discriminating against me for being on the spectrum and it is discrimination. Its no longer just misunderstanding one another. I've made it clear I'm struggling to cope with the hospital because I'm on the spectrum and they've continued to treat me like I can change the way I am and won't treat me properly until I do 

Don't for one moment think that it's ok because it's not.

If you are getting shooed off for behaviour when overwhelmed, it's a valid human rights issue and you deserve better treatment.

 

I just wanted to say this because so many people will say we are. Being dramatic or imagining things or deluded...

But we are not. Just because we aren't blob thinkers that can take it all on and process it all at once, doesn't mean we are stupid or wrong and don't deserve health care.

You do deserve healthcare @Losingmyshiz ,

 

I'm sorry this is happening for you. It sure sounds so difficult. 

 

What have you been doing to support yourself with your own self-care?

Re: Human rights violations and discrimination in healthcare system

I was doing so well when I was still waiting for hospital treatment and looking after myself. I felt the tumour getting smaller and less painful with and was zenned out about it. Preparing my head mentally to go in. 

 

I wish I would get to rid of it on my own. Because I feel like all of this has made it worse. It wasn't in my lymphs when I first went in ..now apparently it is ...and the tumour that I shrunk got bigget before they cut it out and left behind a bunch. 

And then gave me penicillin when I say I am allergic.

They even asked what it does and I said makes me irritable l, angry😭itchy in the ears (same sensation of sensory overload in my ears) and sick...and yet still blame me for being spergy

Hi!  Perhaps call the hospital and see if a peer support worker who also has autism could help you navigate the system?  You can only try.  xo Rose.
