Ms Davida Hartman:

There is massive experience and skill on the teams that are already supporting the Courts Service. There is absolutely no reason, with a bit of training, that they could not support autism diagnosis within those teams. I acknowledge that autism assessment and diagnosis is a very new area worldwide and even people who have a lot of skills and experience lack the confidence to undertake that work but that is very easily addressed with training from us or other autistic-led organisations.
