ECT treatment is the gold standard treatment for Autistic Catatonia along with Lorazepam and is very safe and humane. I have contacted DDS, the Ca Ombudsmans office, Disability Rights California, a congressman (he said it isn’t a federal issue), several news outlets. Nothing is moving forward. Because no one knows who is responsible for the paperwork, and a person is out of the country and not answering her emails. Here is the reality. California has made this ECT process impossible to do without huge interruptions in treatment. As usual, policy over people. As they appear to be “protecting the disabled”, they are in fact causing actual harm by having so many hoops to jump through that cannot be accomplished in actuality every 30 days. I will make a part 2 about ECT treatment and how it has unnecessary stigma surrounding it. These Draconian laws have to change. I have the backing of leadership in NCSA to tackle this. Please send to anyone you know who can help us. Share and repost please. If you come at me about ect treatments out of ignorance it will be an automatic block.
