I ask the noble Baroness, Lady Browning, how she would think of an autistic meltdown. I know that she must have experienced them and they are very distressing. They are mental disorders; autism is a mental disorder. Let us have none of this trying to be sophisticated. Psychiatrists will carry on treating people with a wide range of mental disorders, including neurodevelopmental disorders, and it is utter nonsense to try to exclude them.
