Split the spectrum — 6 signatures. Status: rejected.
Hello, I would like to make it a legal requirement to split the spectrum from one fits all to severity to minor. This is to shorted wait lists for children who are serve who require intervention early, children who are denied this right because one fits all no matter what the child’s needs are.
Splitting the spectrum does not mean anyone gets left out. It means people get support that actually matches their needs. Same word: autism. Completely different support needs. If profound autism were recognised as its own category. Services for children with severe intellectual disability and 24/7 support needs. We wouldn’t be waiting on such long lists!
