autism society of america (ASA) has a list of hospitals that are "Autism friendly" you should not die because you cant handle a hospital environment, seek out a hospital that is modified to accomodate auutistics
Thanks! But unfortunatly I pass as too high functning and they would just acuse me of being attention seeking or being defiant. Luckily when I did need to go to the hospital to get stiches it was out paitient.
If I did have to go inpaitent they would shoot me full of some tranqulizer and possibly kill me.
i am high functioning too so...

When in doubt, ask an autistic. Chances are, they're obsessed with what you need to know.
Autism Speaks will NEVER speak for me

I had a heart monitor after they took me to the hospital after I had a car accident (I was actually fine; but I had bruised my chest and they wanted to be sure I hadn't broken anything). I know how to read EKGs, though I've only practiced on mice; so it was really fascinating. You can see on your EKG where you're taking a breath, because it causes noise on the EKG and changes your heartbeat a bit; and if you get really calm and concentrate hard you can even speed up and slow down your heartbeat a little. I was mostly thinking P, Q, R, S, T, though... I think I must've spent at least fifty hours on mouse EKGs last summer and it's a hard habit to break.
