Quite an interesting interview with someone trying to access an assessment. The government is apparently putting £4.2M into autism services, it’s mainly for children and young adults. I fully understand children should get the support they need, we should all get the support we need.

It's encouraging to hear about the government's commitment to allocating £4.2 million into autism services, especially with a focus on children and young adults. Adequate support is crucial in ensuring individuals on the autism spectrum receive the necessary resources to thrive and navigate the challenges they may face.
£4.2 million is woefully inadequate, the devastating Tory cuts to the NHS since 2010 have left a £37 billion hole in the system. That's why everything is such a mess right now. Suddenly trying to inject money back in to fix their own mess is too little, too late.
This is classic Tory propaganda.
It's like with the police force. Theresa May cut 21,000 jobs and then there was a huge spike in crime. Then the Tories announced they were hiring 10,000 new officers to make it look like they're doing something competent for once.
