For this participant, finally understanding why they had struggled for so long had transformed how they felt about themselves. Their experience highlights an important issue as the NHS considers changes to how people receive support for autism and ADHD.

Zionism, racism and the Green party in turmoil | Letters
Readers respond to articles on the Green party’s motion As ever, Jonathan Freedland is on the money in his article (The Green party’s anti-Zionism motion is yet another attempt to tell Jews how we should think, 3 October).
