  2. 'Wish could I go to a meeting and come out with spring in my step, people are helpful and not have sleepless nights'. They get paid to do it but no appreciate that you are squeezing this in and working.’ Parent

  3. ‘The saddest thing is I’ve not got anything positive to say, is really sad. If talking about another young person of 17 or 18 would be get excited as starting first new hob, or university. This is a nightmare. Nobody has said ‘‘here you go; here is a pathway on where you can go or what you can use’’. Nobody can give you that.’ Parent

  4. ‘No one seems to ask the family how they feel. We have to have coping mechanisms, there is just assumption you’ve been born with it. The agencies don’t work together.’ Parent

  8. ‘The NHS and adult services aren’t joined up. They just say ‘no’ without giving solutions. There is no one person from children to adult services linking, children services don’t know what is happening in either sections (adults or health).’ Parent

  9. ‘The children and adult services don’t merge and speak, they say they do talk, but they don’t.’ Parent

  10. ‘At the time the school should have explained what the meeting was about: they need to highlight the importance of transition.’ Parent

  11. ‘Parents should be told about services and given information as it then gives them a choice if they want to access it if they can afford it.’ Parent

  12. ‘What is transition when they don’t tell you?’ Parent

  13. ‘However severely disabled people are they need their independence!’ Parent
