I still have daily meltdowns. I still struggle with speech. I still get lost in my own world and need help with meals, doing errands, taking care of my appearance etc. I only ever really see my mum. My dad lives abroad (they're divorced), and my two real life friends live 60 miles away and they rely fully on public transport so it's not easy for them to come round. I have very poor social skills so I cannot make new friends IRL. I am better at making internet friends though. Getting bullied by an internet ex-friend though, had to block him. Now there's a house on fire down the street, two fire engines and 4 ambulances on the street. Exams not confirmed that I'll actually be taking them, because I missed the normal exams due to being sectioned by the police (it was 4 policemen and an ambulance with me going amok trying to run onto a four lane motorway) and being put in a locked psych ward for severe challenging behaviour. So am supposedly taking resit exams. I don't even know if the uni will kick me out, that is a possibility (although if I do I will quote the Equality Act 2010 at them and get them for discrimination, my dad said he would get me legal help if I need it).

SUPPORT WORKERS NOT ORGANISED after my discharge so I've been relying heavily on my mum. NOT ideal.

A LOT OF STRESS.

I have a sore lump on my head from headbutting the walls, I didn't have the self control to take some haloperidol or put my mattress against the wall to headbutt that.

Any advice on how to stay calm, or relatively calm during this time. My parents are arguining with each other and using me as a go between.

I have a diagnosis of classic autism and it's hard. Although there are good qualities about autism too.

Did it help for you to write here?

Possibly you are very low in the neurotransmitter GABA, which is the calming neurotransmitter? Can you use your pharmacological knowledge to explore that possibility as well as GABA agonists?

Some are commonplace foods and herbs, others are prescription drugs, and some amino acids are also GABA agonists (melatonin, taurine, L-Theanine).

However don't take my word for it, check it out on Google to see if anything gels with what you are experiencing.

Thank you.

It helped typing it out and seeing this on screen.

I find clonazepam more beneficial for anxiety than haloperidol. And I find haloperidol more beneficial for meltdowns than clonazepam.

Maybe I do have a GABA dysregulation. I'll google.

If the GABA theory holds up, in your case, you can write about it here, and on other forums. This, combined with other people who have had results with this, could lead to the ability to advocate for it more strongly.

I wonder if there's a forum dedicated to people who believe in this theory.

If this theory holds true for many, there must be a way to disseminate it (spread it out) to a wide variety of domains (public, academia).

There's noting like corroborating evidence to provide credibility for something.

Similar to a class action suit yielding more results than one person suing.
