Thought you might like to see this video by Jane Harris from NAS which is a kind of position statement on ATUs if you have not done so already:

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=AP0Vt69FtOU&safe=active&feature=youtu.be

It encourages people to sign the petition opposing the detention of autistic people in ATUs, acknowledges that staff often lack appropriate training on autism, and identifies funding as a major part of the problem.

NAS are going to issue a new report on this too.

I follow them on Twitter and they are Tweeting about this regularly.
