Fund specialist mental health services for neurodiverse children

Closed 200 signatures

What the petition asks

We want the Government to fund specialist mental health services for children with Autism and ADHD. Such children suffer disproportionately with mental health issues such as anxiety, panic disorder and OCD, and often have to wait months for help, from people who may not understand neurodiversity.
The Government must provide funding for specialist services so desperately needed by neurodiverse children as soon as possible.
