Fulfilling and rewarding lives: the strategy for adults with autism in England (3rd March 2010)
The first autism strategy for England will kick-start fundamental change in public services helping adults with autism to live independent lives and find work.
Autism is a lifelong developmental disability and although some people can live relatively independently, others will have high dependency needs requiring a lifetime of specialist care. There are approximately 400,000 adults with ASC in England, around half of whom have a learning disability.
Published on 3 March 2010, the strategy sets a clear framework for all mainstream services across the public sector to work together for adults with autism.
