Working in Partnership to Deliver Better Outcomes for People with Autism

[sammason]

If you're near London, England, you might want to go to this symposium. 'This special symposium offers an invaluable opportunity for education and health practitioners, social workers, professionals from Jobcentres, the criminal justice system, third sector practitioners and other key stakeholders to assess the progress made in the adult autism strategy and to explore how to improve the management of people with autism. It will also provide a platform to discuss with speakers how to build public and professional awareness in order to reduce the isolation and exclusion that adults and children with autism experience in their area, and to respond to their needs more efficiently.'

I like the emphasis on adult autism, not only on children. But what's missing? Clue: no mention of autistic people's own contribution.
