Fund compensation for late-diagnosed autistic and ADHD adults
We are calling on the Government to acknowledge and compensate late-diagnosed autistic and ADHD people failed by education, healthcare, and social care systems throughout childhood and adolescence.
Autism and ADHD are lifelong conditions, yet many of us were not diagnosed early enough and therefore were not supported. We feel we were punished, excluded, and denied legal rights to support under the Equality Act and SEND law. Now, as late-diagnosed adults, we face the long-term harm of that. We believe we need compensation, access to reparative services, and public accountability for this.
