Longman, I am sure you would have a contribution or two for this?

Those that can't or don't want to take part can email questions in beforehand.

  • Dear Longman,

    I'm not sure if this is your question or not, but it was (apparently) the first question asked...

    Talk about Autism:
    The first question comes through email: Sensory issues are barely considered in the current diagnosis, even now, and the impact of sensory issues on the everyday lives of people on the spectrum seems little understood. What is the Government’s intention, in respect of “Leading Rewarding and Fulfilling Lives”, to increase understanding of sensory issues, and to ensure people on the autistic spectrum receive better support in this aspect of their lives?

    Michael Swaffield:
    It is important that we highlight the reasonable adjustments that can and should be made for people on the autistic spectrum, including the impact that sensory issues can have. In particular we need to get this message over to employers so people on the spectrum can reach their potential in the work place.
