URGENT!!! ’ My 21 year old HF ASD grandson is in a continuous meltdown to the point of having to call police and get him transported to a mental health clinic. During these episodes he wants to commit suicide, homicide( because of being bullied), run away, self harm. It is very scary. He’s been put on many psychotropic meds and nothing is helping. We have to hide anything we think he might use to harm himself or others. This has been going on for 3 years now and we, his Mom and I are exhausted and traumatized. He is currently at a MH clinic with discharge coming soon. I’ve agreed to have him go to group home. As I don’t think I can handle his behavior any more. I’m so scared for him. He just callled to tell me he has been told that he has a choice of going to group home or homeless shelter. He says he will not go to group home. He wants death. Can the MH clinic really drop him off at a homeless shelter even though he is intellectually disabled, has autism and epilepsy? Anyone know the answer? Please help if you can. Maggie
