Thank you to actor Sally Phillips of 'How to Please a Women' and 'Bridget Jones Diary' for tweeting! 

So far with my son being turned down for mental health care from Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services due to his autism diagnosis, and me subsequently creating a petition with change. org calling them out on it that's just hit 187k; I also worked with change on a survey to gage just how widespread the problem of autistic children being turned away from CAMHS is.... the results below so far are devastating to see. 

Please do fill in the survey, sign and share the petition and do share this post. CAMHS are going against their own eligibility criteria by doing this. 

Across the UK autistic kids and teens are self harming, attempting (and in some tragic cases) suicide and getting NO help.  

The only NHS mental health care for under 16's is CAMHS, and they are telling us loud and clear that our children are expendable and dont matter.
