Dorset autism patient Alex Jordan 'prisoner in home'
A woman who has autism has said she has been left a "prisoner" in her own home because of care rules designed to protect her.
Alex Jordan, 28, from Poole in Dorset, said she was unable to go out alone under her care rules after being hit seven times in one year trying to cross the road.
The rules were set up by medical and social workers to try to keep her safe.
Support worker Heather Rand comes to do cooking once a week and also helps Ms Jordan to go out, but she often has to spend long periods of time at home on her own.
