Thanks ^
I'm seeing my psychiatrist on Friday and my autism support worker on Thursday so I'll write this down and show it to them.
Makes sense that they're careful due to respiratory depression risk. I forgot to think about that.
As for risk. I'd say midazolam or similar are less of a risk than me freaking out, hurting myself and others, damaging property and getting another record under my name.
How do I explain to people that my "freaking out" is a reflexive response due to my bad sensory issues and that I cannot control it? Someone working at the Disability Centre at my uni said I need anger management sessions! It is not anger at all, it is fear and pain (touching etc gives me severe pain). I have tried explaining that to people and they don't become convinced. One person said "you're 24, act your age!"
