What a shame the following post just went missing - it made soem interesting points:



"I do not understand why, when this is now something that affects SO many families that both the US and UK Governments are pretending it's not happening.
They should be falling over themselves to build schools, train people, get the message into mainstream schools, teach ALL children and ALL adults as much as they can, as fast as they can."


There is a great deal that you appear not to understand Lizzie

Perhaps you might like to read the details of
The Autism bill which passed its final stage in the House of Lords on 22 October 2009 to become England's first ever disability-specific law.

Once it receives Royal Assent, the Bill will officially become the Autism Act, under which the Government's forthcoming adult autism strategy will be legally enforceable and must be published within the next six months.

Under this new law, the NHS and local authorities will have to provide diagnostic services for adults with autism and better training for health and social care staff, and they could face legal action if they fail to provide appropriate support for people with autism.
