Description

Let’s move away from this tendency to pathologize both the experience of autism as well as the behaviour of people with autism.” The Ambitious about Autism Youth Council Members describe what it’s like to be autistic in their own words. As a society, we’ve come a long way since the landmark 2009 Autism Act. We’ve never had a greater public awareness of hidden disabilities like autism. That awareness is increasingly reflected in how our country is run, from the NHS to local government services. If you feel isolated or feel like your neurotypical friends don’t “get” you, it can help to join a support group for adults with ASD. These may take place either online or in-person with groups of varying sizes. We also want to build on our success in increasing the representation of disabled people, including autistic people, in apprenticeships – ensuring that disabled people not only access apprenticeships, but go on to succeed in their apprenticeship. We will do this by engaging with employers, providers, apprentices and the disability sector to determine what works and how best to disseminate this. Continuing to support autistic children and young people during the COVID-19 pandemic

The book is written primarily for parents and professionals new to the field but, unlike the other books I’ve mentioned, it covers a very broad landscape. Everything from some of the biomedical and physical issues you see in autism to how we understand autism. He asks: how do we understand the diagnosis? How can we help people with autism learn? How can we help them with their social skills? Then he goes into adulthood and asks what is it like for adults living with autism. What happens after you leave school? What happens in romantic relationships?Use a list or day planner. If remembering appointments and other responsibilities is a challenge, use a paper planner or an organizational app for your cell phone. You could also use anything from spreadsheets to a whiteboard to help you organize daily tasks.

I want to underline my thanks to everyone who played their part in helping us keep each other safe. I understand just how much this disruption has taken its toll on autistic people’s livelihoods and mental health. Support groups can be a great way to meet people who have had similar life experiences. You might meet lifelong friends and become an important part of someone else’s social support network. Although we’ve come so far over the last decade, there must be no limit to the ambitions of autistic people; they should have the same opportunities as everyone else in society. We’ve also learned some valuable lessons from the pandemic, from the benefits of flexible working to new ways of providing community support online, and the need to improve data collection about autism so we have a deeper understanding of people’s experiences across health and care services.

Autistic people can find it harder to understand abstract concepts. For example, they can struggle to understand another person’s point of view – or if they know it in theory, they may still struggle to imagine what it might be. We want schools to become more inclusive to those with protected characteristics, including autistic children and young people, which is why we will launch a new anti-bullying programme. This will be important in making schools more welcoming and understanding, improving autistic children’s experiences of education as well as their ability to succeed. We expect this new programme to begin in September 2021. In recognition of the role that mental health can play in determining children and young people’s experiences in schools, we are also putting in place new Mental Health Support Teams and training for Designated Senior Mental Health Leads within schools, which will also benefit autistic pupils who are more likely to experience poor mental health. We are aiming to start rolling this training out in the next academic year 2021 to 2022. take action to strengthen and promote pathways to employment, such as Supported Internships, Traineeships and apprenticeships, and work to support all local areas to develop Supported Employment Forums We want to reduce the health and care inequalities that autistic people face throughout their lives, and to show that autistic people are living healthier and longer lives. In addition, we want to have made significant progress on improving early identification, reducing diagnosis waiting times and improving diagnostic pathways for children and adults, so autistic people can access a timely diagnosis and the support they may need across their lives.
