An extra £7m has been pledged for a national autism service in Wales, bringing funding to £13m until 2021.
It will provide adult diagnostic services, support for families and carers, help with transition from child to adult provision and training.
Wales is the first part of the UK to create a national service providing lifetime support to children and adults with autism and their families.
