Key Messages

• Welsh Government must aim for a truly needs-led, not diagnosis-led approach for neurodivergent children. All children should have their needs met, whether they have a formal diagnosis or not.
• Families are often told they have come to the wrong place when looking for support, or that there is no support available. Families having to wait at every point of access means their children are growing older without getting the appropriate support. Wales needs a No Wrong Door approach to Neurodiversity.
• Families would like services to work together to make sure that a child/young person has the appropriate assessment and support they need.
