Yes, I will in a minute.

We all know that it’s so crucial that pathways are in place for families as soon as they’ve visited their GP, as early intervention is vital in developing the right support for someone diagnosed with autism. It’s my view that any pathways established should include a basic awareness campaign, so that families really understand what services and support are available in their local communities. It’s disappointing that, in some parts of Wales, there is no clear and publicly available information on pathways to diagnosis, and so many people find it very difficult to fully understand exactly the process of diagnosis and assessment. Indeed, perhaps there’s even some scope for users of existing pathways and those living with autism to be involved in the process of creating new pathways.

Of course, this leads on to the wider point that more information must be made available more generally on autism, and I note that the refreshed autism spectrum disorder strategic action plan does highlight that information, guidance and training materials are being developed through the ASD national team, and the ASD Info Wales website. But I believe it’s important that more localised information should be made available at a much more local and community level. I give way to the Member for Mid and West Wales.
