We really need to highlight the issues with CAMHS for Autistic children and young people. So, if you feel comfortable to do so, please share your experience of being involved with CAMHS in the comments.

Autistic children should not be suffering this much. CAMHS need to fundamentally change.
(Statistic from Royal College of Psychiatry, UK)

Autistic people are being failed by CAMHS.
The UK Government has known for nearly 10 years and still nothing has changed.

Alexithymia is a significant part of the Autistic experience, and it has huge knock on effects for our mental health and wellbeing.

"Mental health services that lack competence are dangerous.
Autistic people need support that won't make them worse."
Campaigning to be seen by #MentalHealth services is the start.
Services like #CAMHS are horrendously undersigned at supporting #Autistic people.
We need to continue to fight to make sure that these services do more than pay lip service.
Autistic people deserve good quality support.

#CAMHS professionals are notoriously unskilled at working with #Autistic children.
There answer? To refuse to support them.
This is not okay, Autistic children are significantly more likely than their non-Autistic peers to need CAMHS.

New figures uncovered by an #FOI from the Independent show at least 2,838 children needing mental health care were admitted to non-psychiatric hospitals last year.
Based on responses from 54 hospital trusts across England that was slightly down from 3,461 in 2021.
