"In the beginning it was really hard, you literally get a diagnosis and you get handed a book - "This is autism" - and sent on your way with nothing. You're on your own.
It's really isolating and it was actually quite depressing. You see all the differences in your child and then you see other people's children and you think 'my children should be doing that' and 'my kid's not'.

We didn't get a book, or even a pamphlet. No help or advice either. We, and many other parents of autistic family members, have searched high and low for any help or advice. So what use would any legislation be?
Or would it simply allow councils to issue letters of "unfulfilled need" that seems to cover their backs completely as in our daughter's case?
