Can someone talk to me?

I can't say because what a psychiatrist can do depends on where you live and under what care you are provided. Some places allow patients say to their medications others do not.

You would have to contact the place you are trying to go to and ask them about what the protocols and procedures are pertaining to that place and the rights and rules of the people recieving the services.

Okay thanks.

You can refuse medication, I believe… but you might end up getting interviewed by your doctor?

I believe you have a say. My cousin was in a group home for a while. It was for mental illness and addiction. They had strick rules but she did have a say in her treatment. She did better there than at home, hospital or in rehab. The environment was much better. They eventually even helped her find a job part time.

I would check your options. There are many types of group homes and each have different rules and routines to follow. So if you're thinking of that route see which ones feel like they have an environment that is conducive to your needs.

I hope you find a place that is a safe and healing space.

It’s probably better in a group home than living amongst hoodlums.

some group homes are merely custodial. i hope sarah that you can find one to your liking if it comes to that.

Sarah has been living around people who steal from her and threaten her. The landlord is passive and does nothing. I seem to remember a rat in the residence, too.

Moving ones residence that one has grown familiar with can be very hard, ( quite daunting)
for Aspies . The concept of change is very hard to acclimate ones self to , the bigger the harder.
Situations like that require much support . At least that is a situation and circumstances that i have been through in the past . Maybe this is not true for all Aspies , but it is for me . Have faced fiwn several serious situations where it would have been more prudent to change my living circumstances .
