I have recently been contacted by a number of constituents
as part of a campaign inviting me to an event hosted by The National Autistic
Society where I will have the opportunity to discuss the autism strategy with
autistic people, their families and professionals.
I welcome the increased priorities given to helping people
on the autism spectrum, which is becoming more understood as we understand the
many different ways these conditions can impact on the lives of people who have
them.
I would be happy to attend this event, Parliamentary
business allowing, and hope to use my experience to inform my thinking on the autism strategy in the
future.
