  • Just logged on to support, but its slow. I don't know if it was the figures before me, or including me, but there were just 7 for my authority, out of 341 nationally. That seems slow.

    Also it is great to see what authorities claim. Mine certainly hasn't done any of the things they said yes to (autism isn't a term on the A-Z of their website).

    But just posting comments, which are national, won't help single out the "no attempt made" councils.

    The Government needs to be persuaded to enforce "Leading Rewarding and Fufilling Lives" but at the review stage in April last year they were letting off councils that had blatently ignored the requirements, and even saying next to nothing was progress.

    With that background are we likely to be much further forward this year?

    Many councils do not have an autism participation board, and the general interpretation seems to be to include autism on an existing learning disability partnership board ONLY for people with autism who are also learning disabled.
