“a strategy for meeting the needs of adults in England with autistic spectrum conditions by improving the provision of relevant services”
from Local Authorities and the NHS
and in March, 2010 the Department of Health published
The Strategy for Adults with Autism in England; Fulfilling and Rewarding Lives
But what will this mean in practice?
How will it affect the lives of autistic people and their families?
And how can YOU affect what happens where you live?

Tom Purser of the National Autistic Society
(London and South East Regional Team)
on the implementation of the Strategy in Greater London so far
Find out how the London Autistic Rights Movement is becoming involved in implementing the Strategy
