There's no 'over-diagnosis' crisis, the issue is children being ignored

Reform's Richard Tice is compromising progress on support for children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) with his risky remarks and blind comments.

Reform UK have launched a fresh attack on neurodivergent young people, saying the sight of children wearing ear defenders in school is "insane" and that they are being "over diagnosed."

There is no crisis of over-diagnosis in this country. The real crisis is the concern of children being missed, misunderstood, and left without the help they need. For decades Autistic and ADHD children (especially girls) were ignored, punished and written off because they weren't understood.
