We're hosting a parliamentary event to highlight to MPs that autistic people face A Constant Fight for support. We need your help to show every MP that urgent change is needed.
It's a fight to get the right diagnosis. It takes months and even years to get a diagnosis. It's a fight to get support at school. More than one in four parents wait over three years to receive support for their child. That's a lot of a child's school life wasted. It's a fight to get a job. Only three in ten autistic people are employed, the lowest of any disability. It's a fight to get mental health support. Nearly eight in ten autistic adults waiting for community care, reach crisis point before they get help.It's a fight to access the healthcare you need. Eight out of ten autistic adults report difficulty visiting a GP.
Nobody wins when autistic people have to fight to get the support they need. At our parliamentary event, MPs will hear directly from autistic people about the devastating impact of being stuck in A Constant Fight for support.
With your support we can show every MP how important this is to their constituents. Will you let them know by sending an email invitation today?
