Background
We believe people with ADHD and autism are being failed by a system that delays diagnosis for years, worsening mental health, education, and employment outcomes. Even after diagnosis, access to treatment is often slow or blocked, especially when GPs refuse shared care. This creates inequality and forces people to pay privately or go without help. Reform is needed to ensure timely, fair, and consistent care for all.
