Because for ten years since my own Son was diagnosed with level 3 autism I have seen time & again caregivers of autistic & learning impaired individuals jumping through a multitude of hoops to access a psychiatrist when their child is clearly suffering from anxiety. This often then results in patients held under section as a danger to themselves or others in appalling conditions & insufficient care provision which causes unmeasurable suffering to patients & their families.
