An example of an Adjournment Debate presentation by an English MP caught my attention
... "We are talking about a vulnerable group of people who have a strange mix of abilities which masks characteristics that can include obsessive behaviour and lack of imagination which results in them not being streetwise, yet can be coupled with a range of educational abilities up to degree level.
Behaviour can be challenging, particularly if routines are interrupted and can be at best quirky and at worst threatening to those who are not familiar with the individual concerned.
Such behaviour is almost always triggered by events rather than emotional response. It is in this context that I wish to focus on adults and adolescents who under stress and presenting strange or challenging behaviour, find them selves in contact with the mental health services, particularly in patient treatment."
