I agree with everything Yoko says about early intervention and I appreciate what she is trying to do but unfortunately the Social Services and the Mental Health Service in the UK don't work. At the age of 32 my son has been finally diagnosed with Autism after years and years of heartbreak, him suffering three breakdowns and hospitalisation teasing from other children when he was younger because it was missed by the people who should have picked it up. His symptoms were staring them in the face. Now he has missed out on all of the help that he should have been entitled to. He is a big fella and it can only be imagined what could happen during an Autistic rage, if he hadn't been diagnosed and something had gone wrong goodness knows what would happen especially if the police are then in the frame. I am only 5ft so it could also be imagined what potentially could happen to me and yet again Social Services would have blood on their hands. Be warned everyone!!
