English: That was 'cheers' from Joyce Watson there. Diolch, Llywydd. I will get started if you set my timer to now, please. I'm glad to give a minute of my time to Laura Anne Jones and to Mark Isherwood, at their request, so I think then that'll leave me with 12 or so minutes, so I'll assume that's correct. I can never remember the right time. When we stand for election, we stand to support those people in our community and those causes that we strongly believe in, and when I stood for election, autism was one of those things that I wanted to stand up for, and I never dreamt that it would be directly affecting me and my family, because I was elected in 2016, and it wasn't until 2018 that my daughter was diagnosed with autistic spectrum disorder. And as a parent, it kind of creeps up on you - certainly as a parent of a first child, with no baseline to compare it with - and it was actually my parents who said to me, on holiday, 'I think Caitlin may be autistic', because of her significant speech and language delay. And sure enough, that was the diagnosis we had. Therefore, I'm kind of living this pathway that parents in my constituency are living, too, and far from it being selfish for me to raise this debate, what I'm trying to do is raise it on behalf of those parents that I've worked with as a result of my work as a constituency Senedd Member, and I think having the insights myself has been very important in giving me that ability to represent them effectively, because I am on the same journey. Caitlin had to wait a year for a statement, which she should not have. She was a year in mainstream when she should have been in a resource base, so I've had this experience, this frustration that people have at the delays that happen because of the multidisciplinary nature of autism and the requirements of so many people in so many parts of the public sector to agree on what is needed. So, there are huge challenges, huge challenges, although we do have fun as well. In my community, we've got many voluntary groups. Two in particular come to mind: the Valleys Daffodils, who meet in Gilfach YMCA, just underneath my office. They meet every Saturday morning and they do a wonderful job. We've been along there. And also the Sparrows ALN group, which is active across my constituency, run by Nana Deb. Nana Deb was going to be going to Buckingham Palace to see the Queen, but unfortunately she wasn't well enough to go, and I suspect that's why the Queen won't be attending the garden party this year. We attend Cefn Fforest swimming pool every Saturday. At first, Caitlin used to say to me, 'Bye-bye, swimming. Bye-bye, swimming.' And I'm glad to say now, every Saturday morning, she says, 'Hello swimming. Hello swimming', which means she wants to go. I couldn't live without some of that support that exists in the constituency. Meeting parents who have very similar problems to mine and hearing their stories is really, really important, and how similar - although the condition presents itself in different ways, how similar the problems that parents have on that route to finding support for autism.
Welsh: Dyna 'iechyd da' gan Joyce Watson yno. Diolch, Lywydd. Fe ddechreuaf os gallwch osod fy amserydd yn awr, os gwelwch yn dda. Rwy'n falch o roi munud o fy amser i Laura Anne Jones ac i Mark Isherwood ar eu cais, felly rwy'n meddwl y bydd hynny'n fy ngadael gydag oddeutu 12 munud, felly rwy'n cymryd bod hynny'n gywir. Ni allaf byth gofio'r amser iawn. Pan fyddwn yn sefyll etholiad, rydym yn sefyll er mwyn cefnogi'r bobl yn ein cymuned a'r achosion y credwn yn gryf ynddynt, a phan oeddwn i'n sefyll etholiad, awtistiaeth oedd un o'r pethau yr oeddwn yn awyddus i sefyll drosto, ac ni freuddwydiais erioed y byddai'n effeithio'n uniongyrchol arnaf fi a fy nheulu, oherwydd cefais fy ethol yn 2016, ac ni chafodd fy merch ddiagnosis o anhwylder ar y sbectrwm awtistig tan 2018. Ac fel rhiant, mae'n rhyw lun o sleifio i fyny arnoch chi - yn sicr fel rhiant i blentyn cyntaf, heb linell sylfaen ar gyfer cymharu - fy rhieni mewn gwirionedd a ddywedodd wrthyf, ar wyliau, 'Rwy'n credu y gallai Caitlin fod yn awtistig', oherwydd oedi sylweddol gyda'i lleferydd ac iaith. Ac yn sicr ddigon, dyna oedd y diagnosis a gawsom. Felly, rwy'n rhyw fath o fyw'r llwybr y mae rhieni yn fy etholaeth yn ei fyw hefyd, ac ymhell o fod yn hunanol yn cyflwyno'r ddadl hon, yr hyn rwy'n ceisio ei wneud yw ei chodi ar ran y rhieni y gweithiais gyda hwy yn sgil fy ngwaith fel Aelod o'r Senedd dros etholaeth, ac rwy'n credu bod cael mewnwelediad fy hun wedi bod yn bwysig iawn imi allu eu cynrychioli'n effeithiol am fy mod ar yr un daith. Bu'n rhaid i Caitlin aros am flwyddyn am ddatganiad, ac ni ddylai fod wedi gorfod gwneud hynny. Bu am flwyddyn yn y brif ffrwd pan ddylai fod wedi bod mewn canolfan adnoddau, felly rwyf wedi cael y profiad, y rhwystredigaeth y mae pobl yn ei theimlo am yr oedi sy'n digwydd oherwydd natur amlddisgyblaethol awtistiaeth a gofyn i gynifer o bobl mewn cynifer o rannau o'r sector cyhoeddus gytuno ar yr hyn sydd ei angen. Felly, ceir heriau enfawr, heriau enfawr, er ein bod yn cael hwyl hefyd. Yn fy nghymuned i, mae gennym lawer o grwpiau gwirfoddol. Mae dau yn arbennig yn dod i'r meddwl: Valleys Daffodils, sy'n cyfarfod yn YMCA Gilfach, yn union o dan fy swyddfa. Maent yn cyfarfod bob bore Sadwrn ac yn gwneud gwaith gwych. Rydym wedi bod yno. A hefyd y grŵp anghenion dysgu ychwanegol, Sparrows, sy'n weithgar ar draws fy etholaeth, ac sy'n cael ei redeg gan Nana Deb. Roedd Nana Deb yn mynd i fynd i Balas Buckingham i weld y Frenhines, ond yn anffodus nid oedd yn ddigon iach i fynd, ac rwy'n tybio mai dyna pam na fydd y Frenhines yn mynychu'r arddwest eleni. Rydym yn mynychu pwll nofio Cefn Fforest bob dydd Sadwrn. Ar y dechrau, arferai Caitlin ddweud wrthyf, 'Ta-ta, nofio. Ta-ta, nofio.' Ac rwy'n falch o ddweud nawr, bob bore Sadwrn, mae'n dweud, 'Helo nofio. Helo nofio', sy'n golygu ei bod hi eisiau mynd. Ni allwn fyw heb y gefnogaeth sy'n bodoli yn yr etholaeth. Mae cwrdd â rhieni sydd â phroblemau tebyg iawn i fy rhai i a chlywed eu straeon yn bwysig iawn, ac mor debyg - er bod effeithiau'r cyflwr i'w gweld mewn ffyrdd gwahanol, mae'r problemau y mae rhieni'n eu hwynebu ar y daith i ddod o hyd i gymorth ar gyfer awtistiaeth mor debyg.
