I am sorry for cutting across, and I do not mean to be disrespectful towards the Minister of State in any way, but a child with severe autism could be at risk of taking his or her own life. I cannot remember the figure of young autistic people with mental health issues that Mr. Adam Harris cited at our meeting last week. Why can CAMHS not see such children in an emergency when the research shows that children with autism are more likely to have suicidal thoughts and other mental health problems than children from the general population?
