    Here are a few more I stumbled across:

    For all prisons in the UK to become 'Autism friendly'

    There is very little training in prisons for officers/ staff to recognise and support Autistic adults entering the prison and serving their sentence. Only one prison in the UK called Feltham, has been Autism accredited and has made such a huge impact on supporting Autistic prisoners.

    Training for all teachers and doctors to identify autism in males and females

    Autism presents differently in males and females that most girls get left undiagnosed and left flying under the radar, a failed generation and we need to change this. All doctors and teachers everywhere should have the training to recognise autism in both sexes.

    Recognise autism assistance dogs as an Assistance Service Dog like guide dogs.

    Everywhere you go you see no dogs allowed except guide dogs. Obviously guide dogs help people see but for a child or adult who has additional needs or autism this helps them be more safe secure and make them more comfortable in surroundings they wouldn’t usually be comfortable in.

    Make ADHD part of the blue badge scheme

    Autism and physical disabilities are included in the blue badge scheme but people don’t understand how hard it is to catch public transport and make your journey with an ADHD child!! When they have a set routine and you miss your bus ADHD is just a challenge as any other disability.

    Prevent false cures for autism being sold to people in the UK

    I am concerned about the number of parents being tricked into giving their children bleach solutions, often marketed as MMS (Miracle Mineral solutions), as an autism cure. It can lead to severe injuries or death. I urge the government to prevent the sale of false cures.

    Fund free BSL lessons for every parent or carer of a Deaf child in the UK

    90% of Deaf children are born to hearing families, most of which will have no experience of what they need to do to support that child. As a Teacher of the Deaf I repeatedly meet families that cannot afford BSL, which can leave the child isolated & frustrated. It costs £3000/person to gain level 3

    Government responded

    This response was given on 14 May 2018

    Government has funded the development of a family sign language programme, through the I-sign programme, which is freely available at the National Deaf Children’s Society family sign language website.
