Less than 3 days ago I made this petition demanding CAMHS extend their mental health to autistic kids and teens, and it now has over 2,000 signatues.
That speaks volumes.
I have my own experiences of CAMHS as a parent of six wonderful people of varying ages, and I KNOW for a fact that they WILL treat children and teens as long as they are NOT diagnosed autistic.
The bottom line is life saving psychiatric care is being denied to children under 16 IF they have a diagnosis of autism.
Its discrimination plain and simple, FACT.
So please keep sharing to friends, to family, to anyone you think will care because right now children are self injuring, they are breaking down, they are suffering anxiety attacks with NO help......
This cannot continue.
Thank you,
Emma.
