THANK YOU mrs_overall, jake-the-peg & chinadog for filling up the petition.
I cannot stress enough that at present when a young person with a disability leaves school there is NO guarantee that there will be any support to either see that young person through Transition from Children's to Adult Services, or that those who on paper have the responsibility of helping will meet their responsibilities to ensure that the young people have the best start to a promising, fulfilling and enjoyable future!
I have a lot of friends who have children on the autistic spectrum and who have been failed by the system and their young person is between the ages of 16 - 25 and the adult and their families are experiencing great difficulties including depression.
Hopefully this Autism Bill will bring about positive changes in their lives and also in our lives in the future when our little ones are older.
