We must look closely at all the recommendations and find a way forward to ensure that we provide better support and create better opportunities for people with autism.
I am sure that the committee will pick up on this, and I can go into further detail if required, but the fact is that, although the services provided to people with autism and learning difficulties are very good in some areas, I cannot claim the same for other parts of the country. We need to do our level best in all parts of the country to ensure that we are providing the services and help required to all folk with a neurodevelopmental condition. That will take quite a bit of work.
In all of that, and in light of the recommendations, we all have a duty to continue to listen to the voices of those with lived experience about what works and what does not work for them.
