Summary

Rod Stewart offered financial assistance for the autism diagnosis of 4-year-old Iain Gregori, who has been waiting since he was four. After hearing about his case during parliament, Stewart's compassion led him to cover the costs of a specialist evaluation after his own son's struggles with special needs. Meanwhile, Prime Minister John Swinney assured parents that alternative support pathways exist for children facing challenges like autism.
