The National Autism Project and the National Autistic Taskforce
The National Autism Project is a new project to provide authoritative recommendations on those aspects of autism research and practice that have demonstrable effectiveness in benefiting autistic people and their communities. Its remit is very broad, encompassing education, social care, community, housing, employment, societal perception and understanding, healthcare and biological/medical research.
The National Autistic Taskforce is an innovative new body inspired but the project that aims to improve the chances for autistic people to have control over their own lives. It will look to challenge government and local communities to deliver the support, services and opportunities that autistic people are entitled to. It’s advised and directed by autistic people.
