Billions have so far been wasted by the National Autistic Society, academics et al in the name of helping the ever increasing ASD sector .

Yet this appears to have been effectively job and empire self creation.

As a parent of a severely affected ASD teenager , my daughter cannot even get information, let alone treatment, from a dentist, doctors will rarely make home visits, and various schools have secretly mismanaged and abused her despite their huge government paid fees.

She is effectively excluded from society. Her only support are outings with zero hour, minimum pay workers, whose agency receive four times their wage from social services.

If we have problems her behaviour we are told to ring the police.

My biggest fear are the ever increasing Mental Capacity Act orders, now used on ASD people to keep them out of society and quiet often on enforced dangerous medication. This I fear is the way the police will increasingly deal with the problem of ASD, as the easiest most efficient method.
