Live Q&A on Talk About Autism about the Autism Strategy

I think that Michael Swaffield's reply somewhat side-stepped the question, I mean from the off, why aren't sensory issues taken into account in assessment and diagnosis?

My emailed question was asked, but I felt like I got a politician's response and it didn't get the response it needed.

Mr Swaffield kindly provides his email address for people on the spectrum to contact him to tell him what we want out of life: autism@dh.gsi.gov.uk
