Specialist Autism Mental Health Services
That this Assembly notes with great concern the lack of capacity within mental health services to meet the needs of those with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD); further notes the lack of specialist interventions available for autistic individuals; affirms that mental health support is vital for many on the autism spectrum; and calls on the Minister of Health to bring forward plans to develop specialist autism mental health services, informed by the lived experiences of service users and their families, to meet the needs of those with ASD and other mental health conditions.
