Joint Oireachtas Committee on Autism

Autism Policy: Discussion (Resumed)

Ms Margaret Lowndes:

We are in the middle of dealing with CAMHS at the moment. My son will be nine next month. He had the first part of an ADHD assessment in May and we have had no contact so far. I have rung every week but have been put on the long finger. He is now starting to show signs of decreasing mental health. My worry is that we are not being seen and nobody is answering the phone. We do not know whether he has ADHD or not. There is no support at all. No GP can do anything either.
