My name is David Gray-Hammond, and not only am I an Author and Consultant working with Autistic drug-users, I myself am a recovering drug-addict.

Currently there are no specific guidelines for working with neurodivergent drug-users, and some professionals even believe we don't exist.

We need NICE to produce guidelines for neurodivergent drug-users and how to work with and support them. These guidelines need to be co-produced with neurodivergent people.

We are a demographic that often falls through the net, and we need our existence to be validated and supported in guidance and policy.
