I will come back to it because I am conscious that I am running out of time. I have one or two quick questions for Ms Moore Ryan. She talked about overmedication and the flippant responses from some clinicians. I have experienced that as a referrer but obviously it is a lot easier because I am not the one looking for help for myself. I appreciate that it is very different to be on the receiving end. Ms Moore Ryan talked about the overmedication when she was in looking for help. Did the clinicians respond? Did she complain to them about it? Did they respond in any way? Was there willingness to understand her perspective? Equally, does she feel the services had an understanding that she had two things going on, that is, the autism and the mental health challenges?
