Stop people with autisim being labelled with mental health and sectioned !!
To investigate those sectioned for being misunderstood , losing there voice and being forced to be sectioned and ignored due to lack of knowlege on mental health, make sure that learning difficulties arent punished when undiagnosed !!
To question my sectioning to help make sure others like me dont suffer and arent arrested in there home for being themselfs
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We understand that you're concerned about people with autism being sectioned under the Mental Health Act, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.
People can only be detained under the Mental Health Act if they need urgent treatment for a mental health disorder and are at risk of harm to themselves or others.
The Government is consulting on proposals to ensure that mental illness is the reason for detention and that neither autism nor a learning disability are grounds for detention under the act in and of themselves: www.gov.uk/government/consultations/reforming-the-mental-health-act/reforming-the-mental-health-act
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
