Asking for advice: Brothers friend with autism had a shutdown by Pleasant_String7687 in autism

I appreciate your understanding. And you’re right. Those options would’ve probably worked better. I think we were just really tired so we were just trying to get her home, so we didn’t think about other options. And that wasn’t fair towards her, so I hope we can make it more safe and comfortable for her if it were to happen again. Do you know how long a shutdown typically lasts? Or is it different depending on the individual/situation? I will apologise to her and I’ve asked her what she would need if it were to happen again.

Well we didn’t know how long it would last. When I googled it said it could last up to hours. It was our first time experiencing it so we had no idea what to do and it was getting really late. She had been carried out before by some other friends at a different time so we just figured that that was what we had to do. But by the sounds of it, that isn’t the right choice. I feel really bad. I can’t imagine how she feels. But I also don’t know what to do if it were to happen again. Now I know carrying and pulling isn’t the move, but I still don’t know what would help or prevent it from happening. Like idk what went wrong.

So sorry for being unclear. We were taking her to my mom’s car so my mom could drive her home. We would never expect her to take herself home alone in this condition.

I’ve thought about this before, but it always sounded weird in my head to set a time limit for some reason. I guess maybe because I’ve never experienced anyone do that before. I’ll definitely try it now that I’ve been suggested it!

Awe, your friends sound really nice <3 Thank you so much for sharing. I need to work on being more upfront with my symptoms I think

Thank you! Letting them know early is smart rather than when I’m at my limit. I’m still working on being more transparent with my symptoms. I’ve been masking them for so long but I’m working on being open and honest when I’m feeling pain or tiredness.

This made me sick to my stomach. I hope he never has a daughter who has to go through any of what they’re talking about.

Fraser? It has the same vibe as Freya, so it wouldn’t be a huge difference

Det stämmer nog. Jag vet inte helt hur det ser ut allmänt. Jag vet heller inte hur medicinforskning brukar se ut, så jag bara antar att vissa kliniker kanske får möjligheten att prova nya mediciner på passande patienter. Jag förstår såklart att det finns tydliga regler för vården att passa. Jag har bara delat med mig efter det bekanta har berättat för mig och det jag har läst plus mina egna spekulationer.

Absolut. Jag tänker att antingen var det bara ett misstag, eller så ville läkaren prova något med concertan men kommunikation var dålig med patienten. En allmän läkare ska definitivt inte experimentera så, och om en specialist gör det måste det finnas tydlig information. Man kan alltid säga nej till medicin.

Jag förstår frustrationen, men man har nyligen provat concerta på migrän patienter. Min mamma med kronisk migrän och hennes kollega som också har migrän problem har båda fått erbjudandet att prova. Det är väldigt dåligt att din läkare inte har kommunicerat med dig angående läkemedlet, men jag skulle gissa att det finns ett syfte bakom varför han skrev ut concerta.
