Autism in Wales

Governments all over the world have to deal with autism. From time to time, this blog will post information about autism policy and politics outside the United States. The latest example comes from the United Kingdom:

THE Government must fulfil its commitment to adults living with autism, by supporting the development of an effective Adult Autism Strategy, says a Gwent MP.

Don Touhig is trying to raise awareness about the effects of autism and those living with the condition, and his latest move is to table an early day motion (EDM) in the House of Commons.

The Islwyn MP's EDM will call on the Government to fulfil its commitment to the Adult Autism Strategy, which will seek to maximise opportunities for people living with autism, and which has been subject to wide-ranging consultation.
