Mental Health System Vs. Clairvoyance and Sexuality
There are many prejudices in this world. This affects the lives of everyday people constantly. I spent 15 years under the mental health services after being sectioned via a court at the age of 18. I was born with a form of Autism. I was only diagnosed at 16 with Asperger Syndrome after my father had to get the MP involved due to CAMHS assuming that I was probably on the spectrum without providing an official diagnosis. I had to obtain a diagnosis from a forensic team after the police kept getting involved for my behaviour issues relating to my undiagnosed Autism. I have just managed to get out of the mental health system after requesting to come off the section 117 aftercare. I wasn’t provided with any services for the past 7 years therefore the council agreed to end the section after 15 years. I want to go into how I may have got myself into the system by accident alongside the behaviours associated with my Autism. I was labelled a criminal due to a stupid attempt at trying to get revenge on someone who had rejected me when I was a teenager. I tried to get a tutor from college arrested for carrying a bomb when another student had told me that she was due to go on holiday that day. I emailed the airport saying that I had information that a passenger was carrying a bomb. Luckily, the court downgraded my charge to providing false information. I also got charged with Harassment a few times for how school had encouraged me to communicate as a child. I was told to write things down if I couldn’t talk to the teachers in circumstances where I was being bullied etc.

Success Story
The onset of the disease was insidious, but even today, I still vividly remember the painful episode in my life. I completed high school, college, and medical school with great success. Everything seemed set, and I was about to start a residency program at a prestigious institution. It seemed as if my hard work had paid off and my dreams were realized. However, six weeks into my residency, I was in trouble. I was repeatedly unable to complete my work in a timely fashion. In fact, I did almost everything, including walking down the hall and going to the bathroom, at a very slow pace. In addition, I had trouble concentrating on even the simplest of tasks. Having always been blessed with an excellent memory, I noted with dismay that I was often unable to recall basic facts I had read. It was a frustrating time, since it had always been very important to me to do my work in a conscientious manner. Despite the demoralizing effect the ensuing negative feedback had on me, I resolved to overcome the hurdle. It was a very frustrating struggle, because no matter how hard I tried, I could not improve. I remained slow, inefficient, disorganized, and was almost always late — very late. It seemed as if my mind was paralyzed and I was condemned to play the role of the worst resident in the program. Slowly I began to wonder if I was contracting some sort of dementia.
