Me:This but you are autistic and start having meltdowns from the stress and they give you antipsychotics that end up causing serotonin syndrome. The convulsions make them think you're going thru withdrawal and they give you something else. You can't speak the whole time. https://t.co/pWLDBPqFJR

There's a chance if they do give you meds, they will be wrong kind, likely assume'ing you're going thru some kind of withdrawal. Sometime later it causes a heart attack b/c of calcium channel mutations combining w/ mitochondrial function causing the heart to stop firing properly.

If you are lucky, you don't get heart attack. But you are lying on the floor shitting yourself from the food triggering Crohn's Disease while convulsing.You can't talk to anyone the whole time.

So!If I go to jail, to avoid having seizures and heart problems, I will necessarily have to not eat. Going into ketosis will reduce the chances that my body's mitochondrial function and stress trigger a series of unfortunate circumstances.

I'm really glad I read that thread. As scary as it is to think about; I am now less afraid.

Will have to research how autistic people deal with this. Under enough stress, I wouldn't be able to remember my name, how old I am, or what day it is.I wonder how easy it is to scrub off permanent marker, and if reapplications would seep into my blood.https://t.co/bLbQoRkgBt

Tired: wearing handcuffs as a sexual kink.Wired: wearing handcuffs during sexual roleplay to desensitize myself to the sensory experience of having stuff on my arms so I don't freak out if I ever end up in a jail cell.https://t.co/VUGypZ5rNP

What kind of fabric are jail cell jumpers typically made out of? Considering buying something with a similar texture to wear once a week.This seems to be a source for actual prison apparel, but I suspect jail cells are slightly different?https://t.co/8APbuygMd4

I want to be able to go out of the house without fearing for my life if I happen to have a meltdown. I'll still have to deal with the fear of being shot, but it's the extended prison stay that would kill me.All of this plays into a form of agoraphobia. Not unjustified.

For marking a phone number on my skin... Maybe henna?It seems that long-lasting "black henna" kind would likely give me a reaction.https://t.co/ss90vbQS26

There are temporary tattoos that might work for autistic children in some situations. But these can be washed/scratched off fairly easily.https://t.co/9HlxmJR3TS

Oh good. Now I have to worry that there is a warrant for my arrest because I might have an unpaid medical bill from years ago and have no idea if I was ever asked to go to court for it. AND apparently the act of finding out could trigger the arrest?https://t.co/qgpyD5sbPP

Wanted: a cooperative insurance program that lets poor communities contribute to a collective pot to cover bail, under the 'charitable organization can post bail' thing.I wonder if I can fast for 3 months.https://t.co/IXZEbew7Uy https://t.co/AiAJXNKDHD

"Judges have issued warrants for people who owe money to landlords and payday lenders, who never paid off furniture, or day care fees, or federal student loans. Some debtors who have been arrested owed as little as $28."https://t.co/J3YKHlKauD

Widespread asset forfeiture, debtor's prisons, rampant incarceration, civil unrest, and DUI/immigration checkpoints.This is America. Home of the free. Papers please.

After reading this article on healthcare and autism, I'm starting to think that I might also need a phone number tattoo'd to my arm in case someone decides that I should be committed."For example, they believe his behavior was mistaken for psychosis."😶https://t.co/G4ahoE70dP

Are there medical bracelets for diabetics that aren't confiscated when you are put in a jail cell?

Basic queue'ing theory prevents deaths in prison system. A company formed to figure out how to apply these ideas. Ask for investors..."He is not the only person to starve to death, waiting for a transfer, this year...[...] our model helps"https://t.co/9fGMhimMKA
