Last October, the Autism Bill was passed in Parliament. This was an historical move as it is the first disability specific Bill ever passed.

http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm200809/cmbills/010/2009010.pdf


Ahhh.......but then comes the Adult Autism Strategy, aimed at implementing said Bill.

http://www.dh.gov.uk/en/Publicationsandstatistics/Publications/PublicationsPolicyAndGuidance/DH_113369


Now is the time for councils to be reviewing how they intend to implement this Strategy - and that's another story!

Sadly, most local councils do not know how many people in their area are on the Autistic Spectrum so the more they know about, the better the outcome.

Anyone interested may find this link helpful........your voice is needed.

Okay...........if you, or anyone you are close to suspect they are on the autistic spectrum, it may be interesting to do the Autistic Spectrum Quotient.........it only takes a couple of minutes and you do not need to enter your details.

My score comes up between 10-12.
