“There are around 700,000 autistic people in the UK. Life can be desperately difficult for autistic people and families, particularly just before and after receiving a diagnosis, when so much is unclear and support is often hard to come by.

Transforming Care ends in March 2019 but there are still thousands of autistic people & people with a learning disability stuck in inpatient units. To change this we need the right support in the community because people with learning disability and autistic people are #HumanToo pic.twitter.com/48kfoQM2VP

This is excellent news. Autism is not an illness or a disease and for many the concept of a 'cure' is offensive.
It's been great to feed into this work by the @ASA_UK and look forward to seeing the outcome. twitter.com/asa_uk/status/…
