This is too long, why are the strategy and guidance not going to be published together? Surely the strategy cannot be successfully implemented until guidance is in place.

Yes

Not sure

Yes, however it should be made clear that the list is not prescriptive and there may be other professionals involved or not involved depending on the individual's needs.

12

Knowing what services are available - sometimes helpful services are not well known or very well signposted by others.

13

Yes

14

All of the below if they wish to specify only

Age at time of diagnosis

Gender

Their experience of the diagnosis progress ands support since

Who provided this support - was it free, funded through grants/charities etc, or privately funded?

It should be written on the Bill.

Then it would be a legal requirement as opposed to guidance which would not necessarily negate a legal obligation for it to be followed.

16

Yes

So long as it is shared with individual's consent and does not breach the new Data Protection laws

It should happen all the time.

Autism doesn't only happen every three years it is an ongoing, everyday occurrence and as such we should be doing our best to raise awareness every day.

I think it will be a good move in the right direction.
