Gwn mai dim ond un o ystod o gyflyrau niwroddatblygiadol yw awtistiaeth, ac mae pob un o’r cyflyrau hyn yn cyflwyno heriau i blant ac oedolion a’u rhieni a’u gofalwyr. Mae ein ffocws ar wasanaethau awtistiaeth wedi rhoi sylfaen gref i ni ystyried anghenion ehangach y boblogaeth niwroamrywiaeth. Bydd y gwersi rydym wedi’u dysgu wrth ddatblygu’r Cod Ymarfer hwn yn llywio ein cynlluniau ar gyfer datblygu gwasanaethau cynaliadwy sy’n seiliedig ar anghenion ar draws Cymru.
I am aware that autism is only one of a range of neurodevelopmental conditions, and all of these conditions bring challenges for children and adults and their parents and carers. Our focus on autism services has given us a solid foundation from which we can consider the wider needs of the neurodiverse population. The lessons we have learnt from developing this Code of Practice will inform our plans for developing sustainable needs based services across Wales.
