Children and young people in the National Autism Strategy

Contact has welcomed the inclusion of children and young people in the National Autism Strategy for the very first time. The government’s refreshed strategy sets out how it plans to support and improve the lives of autistic adults and children in England over the next five years. It now includes a whole section on autistic children and young people, along with commitments to improve their education and support for ‘positive transitions’ into adulthood.
