This story of an autistic women locked up since she was a child is a lesson in what happens when there is no-one to advocate for you with the mental health services.... given her final release (which in itself took nearly a decade of hard work), one can only conclude this was unlawful imprisonment!
If this was a single case this would be an outrage & a tragedy, but Mencap believe there are hundreds more people in a similar situation.
This is inhumane!
