THE family of a young autistic woman sent to a mental health unit in Brighton have won their three-month battle to bring her home.

Claire Dyer, from Gowerton, is back at home with her family after an order — keeping her detained at the medium secure psychiatric unit — was lifted. Her mother Cath Dyer said the episode had taken its toll on the family but said her daughter was “ecstatic” to be home.

She said: "We are so pleased and Claire is ecstatic but it has been such a nightmare. We are all exhausted physically and mentally."

She added: “Her mental health section has been removed, and she is staying at home with us, having support until her new placement is sorted. She is so, so pleased, and we are all over the moon. It’s been hell for three months since she was sent to Brighton, and has been a long roller coaster of a ride.”
