The new autism bill has been passed by Parliament and is set to be made into an Autism Act
This will mean that local authorities will now need to ensure that they put services into place for people who have an autistic spectrum condition.
It will also mean that local authorities will need to know how many of the people who live in their region have an autistic spectrum condition.
New research out has identified that there are at least 1 in 100 people who have an autistic spectrum condition
Following a recent government consultation process, the autism stratergy due out in April 2010 will identify what services the goverment proposes to put in place in responce to this new Autism Act..
Families and proffessionals alike await the publication of this new stratergy.
