A mother has described her daughter's three-year wait for an autism assessment as "soul-destroying". Caroline, 48, from Pembrokeshire, said her daughter struggled to understand herself and could display challenging behaviour. BBC News research suggests the number of children waiting more than a year to be assessed in Wales has doubled in the past three years. The Welsh government said it would invest £13.7m in neurodivergence services and said long waits were "not acceptable".
