The Autism Act, 10 years on: a report from the All Party Parliamentary Group on Autism on understanding, services and support for autistic people and their families in England

All Party Parliamentary Group on Autism, September 2019

 This report on an inquiry by the All Party Parliamentary Group on Autism (APPGA) and the National Autistic Society looks at the results of a survey of around 11,000 autistic adults and their families in England and evidence sessions in Parliament.  The report finds that not enough has been done locally and nationally to make sure that the Autism Act makes a difference to all autistic people in the country.  The report calls on the government to introduce specialist autism support in every council in England, invest in social care services and secure long term sustainable funding.
