"Autism is not a mental health problem. But a recent
study showed that as many as 71% of children with
autism have mental health problems, such as anxiety
disorders, depression, and obsessive compulsive
disorder (OCD), and 40% have two or more."
The NAS report investigates the impact of mental health problems on children with autism and their families. The report focuses on how the CAMHS system isn’t meeting their needs and what can be done to improve the outcomes and experiences of these families,while recognising the wider responsibility of other agencies to promote the emotional wellbeing of this group.
