When I spoke in the debate on the Bill in January, I mentioned the fact that my daughter was awaiting a diagnosis for autism, and she received that diagnosis in February. Tomorrow is her fourth birthday, and some of the things I said at the time were: will she be able to remain in school; how can I help her overcome her frustration at not being able to tell me what she wants; will we ever be able to hold a conversation; how can we approach toilet training if she doesn't understand the concept; who can teach me to help her; and will she ever be able to tell me that she loves me? And I have to say that the support we've received has been incredible. We've received brilliant support. We've been to toileting workshops as parents and she has speech and language support at school. I would say that there is a delay and a wait for EarlyBird training. We are still waiting for that, and I think we'll be waiting for six months after the diagnosis. So there remain problems. 

I voted against the Bill, but let me say that I would not have voted with the whip. I voted on a decision, having taken advice from many different sources in my constituency. I took advice from the health board, I took advice from Trinity Fields School, and the acclaimed autistic spectrum service that operates there. And the Minister came to visit. And I think an awful lot of this—and I have to say, and I'm speaking now as a parent, I feel an awful lot of this has been the politicisation of autism by parties in this Chamber. I have to say I feel that way and I feel that it has been fed—[Interruption.] Janet Finch-Saunders is shaking her head; you shouted 'Shame' at me when I said I wasn't going to support the Bill last time. 

The National Autistic Society is complicit in this. When I read the National Autistic Society's Facebook page, I read some of the comments immediately after the debate, and here are some of the comments that are still on that page today. This is what they said about us as Assembly Members who voted against the Bill: 'Give them an autistic child or a child with special needs and see how they vote then.' 'Welsh Labour are a sack of—expletive. They really couldn't give a toss about autism and individuals and families affected by it.' Someone else said: 'Name and shame the heartless—expletive—who voted against this Bill.' And there was another one who said, 'Maybe MPs who voted to block this Bill should spend a week with families caring for children and adults with ASD.' The National Autistic Society have made no attempt whatsoever to address the inaccuracies—[Interruption.]
