Background
Autism and ADHD are lifelong conditions, yet many of us were not diagnosed early enough and therefore were not supported. We feel we were punished, excluded, and denied legal rights to support under the Equality Act and SEND law. Now, as late-diagnosed adults, we face the long-term harm of that. We believe we need compensation, access to reparative services, and public accountability for this.
