Will the Leader of the House take this as a bid as a topical debate on the issue, which affects hundreds of thousands of people throughout the country?

There is now a great deal more awareness of the difficulties of autism and Asperger's syndrome, and a recognition of the importance of early diagnosis and integrated services.
