At present, I believe people with Autism, ADHD and other Neurodivergent conditions do not receive appropriate Mental Health treatment and care they need and deserve through NHS Mental Health services. All NHS Mental Health services must be suitable for Neurodivergent people.

Review and reform education system to support neurodivergent children in schools
I want the government to review and reform mainstream education so neurodivergent children are understood, supported, and included — with trained teachers, sensory-friendly classrooms, proper funding, and accountability under the Equality and Disability Acts.
Fund more reasonable adjustments in NHS primary care for autistic people
We want the Government to provide funding to strengthen and enforce more reasonable adjustments in NHS primary care. This could include flexible appointments, longer consultations, quieter options, remote consultations, and home visits where surgery attendance is not possible.
Review treatment of ARFID and access to NHS eating disorder services
In many cases, support from NHS eating disorder services is not given to people with ARFID. We think this support is crucial and should be mandatory. If left untreated, ARFID can be life threatening. People can miss out on education and life events, and can lack energy to do basic daily activities.
Review consent law to protect neurodivergent people from miscarriages of justice
We ask the Government to review consent law to ensure courts and juries consider neurodivergence and relationship context when judging belief in consent. Neurodivergent people need fair legal protections to prevent miscarriages of justice in sexual offence cases.
Remove time bars and provide legal aid for neurodivergent people
Time bars should not be applied when victims are neurodivergent and often unable to comprehend what has happened to them in a timely manner. Provide effective Legal aid to become accessible to neurodivergent people that cannot afford solicitor’s fees but are victims of discrimination.
