This is becoming crazy, apparently it's fine to just stop testing for mental health issues, because they have not planned it out or budgeted property. So many kids will not be able to get the support and help they need because of this. Imagine there was increase in cancer diagnosis, so they just say oh we are stopping cancer treatment for anyone new….

  2. This article is nearly a month old. It was posted at the time

  3. It’s embarrassing. Any criticism I’ve had about the NHS is met with rage, usually influenced by politics.

    could probably have the assessment done cheaper and quicker flying to a 3rd world country, but then our doctors would refuse to believe it. Very frustrating

  4. I agree with your sentiment but why do people keep lumping autism in with “mental health”? It’s a developmental disability that we’re born with, not a mental health issue like anxiety or depression.

  6. Can’t claim benefits if no one is diagnosed! Government thinking *taps head*.

  7. Just to say. ADHD and Autism are not Mental Health issues, likening them to cancer is not right.

  8. Gotta love how they reference the “Embrace Autism” program as a reason why it’s totally fine to be sans diagnosis,  but when you find the program website it says “closed to new applicants”…
