Living With Autism

EDM number 39 in 2009-10, proposed by Bob Spink on 18/11/2009.
Categorised under the topic of Diseases.

That this House notes that there are over half a million people in the United Kingdom with autism who, to varying degrees, struggle to make sense of the world; further notes that this can cause them considerable anxiety, particularly in understanding and relating to other people and taking part in family, work and social life; further notes with concern that autism is still relatively unknown and misunderstood which means that many of those affected get nothing like the level of help, support and understanding they need; and congratulates the National Autistic Society for working with people living with autism to overcome social isolation,encourage independence and livelife with confidence so they can enjoy the same opportunities that the rest of us take for granted.

This motion has been signed by a total of 73 MPs.
