Increasing pressure for autism mental health services

Exclusive Sky News data shows the increasing pressure facing children's mental health services in the UK as demand has soared, but some parents believe their children are being turned away from these vital services altogether simply because they're autistic.

Sky News spoke to one teenager and his mother, who say he faced discrimination from the health services on the basis of his diagnosis, leaving him unable to access mental health support.

WARNING: This report contains references to mental health struggles and suicide

Anyone feeling emotionally distressed or suicidal can call Samaritans for help on 116 123 or email jo@samaritans.org in the UK. In the US, call the Samaritans branch in your area or 1 (800) 273-TALK.
