'We're not getting better that way, the waiting lists are atrocious, we're almost going backwards.'
The mum of a young man with an autism diagnosis says greater work has to go into making services more accessible for people with living with autism and their families.
"I actually went to the Autism NI support group when Ben was diagnosed because that many years ago, there was hardly anything for parents," she said. Growing up, it was difficult to find the right spaces and places to take Ben and Anne says that is something that has changed for the better. "Even going to the likes of shopping at Tesco was really stressful, because if Ben had a meltdown, you were getting stared at and people were actually tutting at you and looking at you as if you had two heads.
"The services are the main problem, we're not getting better that way, the waiting lists are atrocious, we're almost going backwards," she said.
