Her mother Megan, who has been attacked by her daughter during outbursts, said Makayla needs more specialist help but that medical staff have admitted she is a child who has "fallen through the cracks" of the system.Georgie Gardner and Makayla at her home in Sydney.
She said there are lots of parents in a similar situation as Megan, with families torn apart, unable to cope and isolated. "The system is letting them down. I'd say the system is broken but as somebody once eloquently put it, there is no system."

Always Australia
Wow
This is just damn depressing
Guessing poor girl has no private health cover , threw her in public care treated like an animal seen it so many times. Surprised she wasn’t tasered understand they need to be under control. Try living in their shoes, frightened feel losing control, frustrated are still children.
Parents have to read the signs early when children are about two to three years old & see genuine symptoms. Then get an assessment and get onto NDIS and get the support. Next identify Autism behaviour from just naughty kid behaviour and address them differently & accordingly
The actions of medicating are wrong. This can be counterproductive to a child with autism's health.
Literally no rights for the Australian people this is utterly disgusting who the hell hand cuffs a child ffs any kid let alone some one who has autism ffs
Pretty soon half the population will be autistic and y'all going to be saying 'why didn't we do anything!'
What Century are they living in ?
The right medication can assist autistic kids greatly but they must working with doctors to get that balance right
