"I always get misunderstood or poorly treated at..."

About: Hull Royal Infirmary / Accident and emergency

I've been living in Hull for 2 years now.

My first visit I was fine but after that the staff always get fed up with me because I'm Autistic and get very inpatient, easily bored and have mood swings and they think I am aggressive when I'm not, I've never hit anyone except a security guard because he touched me and it made me feel uncomfortable as I have been sexually assaulted numerous men in the and don't feel comfortable around men or having men touching my body.

On 03/5/2018 or 04/5/2018 I rung 999 complaining of chest pains, a nurse drew blood tests and then I was dumped in the minor unit which overcrowded with intoxicated adolescents and I asked the nurse who took my bloods if I can have a sandwich because my glucose levels were low and she promised me she would get me one which she didn't.

I was told that I wouldn't be seen until 4 hours which is unfair as I have an arrhythmia and my family members have a history of heart attacks.

I feel like I'm outcast or that the staff are not understanding of my learning disabilities and medical conditions.
