Disability Discrimination Act regarding autism

wendyocd

How does autism fit in with the Disability Discrimination Act please? My two sons are autistic and they are excluded from activites at our regimental welfare service because of their autism. I'm just wondering if they were wheelchair bound, would they be excluded in the same way? People always say that access must be made for wheelchair users so would or does autism benefit from the same protection of their rights? I don't know where to go in regards with finding out about my sons rights and the regimental welfare services obligation into including all people of all disabilities into their activities.

Thank you for any and all help.

  • If the Travel Company say an Autistic person or any Disabled person must have a travel companion to come on their holidays.  Does not the Travel Company have a duty to let the companion travel free of charge under the Equality Act?  If I have to pay for the companon that is discrimination as that makes my holiday cost double.

    As explained in a previous E Mail there are alternatives to Disabeld people and Autistic people having to bring travel companions the reps supplied by the Holiday Companies could be trained to be more helpful.
