It is so important that the bespoke needs of people on the autistic spectrum are no barrier to employment or training opportunities.
Today I asked Department for Work and Pensions Minister, Justin Tomlinson MP what measures the Government are taking to ensure that people with autism have the support they need.
I also took the opportunity to mention the amazing work that The Met in Bury, who run confidence building sessions for children on the autistic spectrum and develop the skills that they need to thrive.
