    Funny way of saying locked up for life.

    Is this guy actually a danger to society to the extent that he needs to be in a padded room forever?

    They mention him getting violent with them, but if you’re being locked up like this against your will, won’t you fight back with every ounce of fortitude you have? Don’t ever let your captors beat your spirit.

    I wonder if some of this is about the money. This guy is costing very rich powerful people a lot of money, it would be a sound investment to pay a largeish sum to the right people to have him removed from society forever, to save money down the line.

    I have no idea what’s true and what isn’t, this just seems a little fishy is all. Who knows.

      all of it is. 100%. That is the only reason they are torturing this poor guy (am autistic myself and have only faced potentially being sectioned before, that’s the word I feel fits most).

      also

      They mention him getting violent with them, but if you’re being locked up like this against your will, won’t you fight back with every ounce of fortitude you have? Don’t ever let your captors beat your spirit.

      He was literally having autistic meltdowns, I don’t even need to say “probably”, because being put in that sort of distress leads to either meltdown or shutdown, there is no way to regulate those emotions and input at that point (this is what led to the near-sectioning I mentioned above, and to many horrible things that have happened again and again to autistic people, including being murdered by police for “resisting”. Systemic ableism is very real)
