Make ASD and ADHD prescriptions free for adults.
Currently those diagnosed with lifelong conditions such as ADHD and those on the autistic spectrum have to pay for prescriptions. These medications are often not a choice, but a necessity. Please consider adding them to the existing medically exempt groups of illness and conditions.
This acknowledges the ADHD and ASD is a life long condition that affects adults as well as children. Providing free medication for them ensures that they can access much needed help for something that is pervasive and not a choice. Simply put it will address the imbalance and make the playing field more equal. There are already laws in place to prevent discrimination against people who are neurodiverse, it is a logical step therefore to make their prescriptions free.
