All Party Parliamentary Group on Autism Transition report out now
Transition to adulthood can be particularly difficult for young people with autism. As a result of their condition, many find change difficult to cope with and there is frequently a lack of understanding of their autism and a dearth of provision to meet their needs. This report outlines the key findings and recommendations of the Inquiry. Over 220 stakeholders, including people with autism, parents and professionals, submitted evidence to the Inquiry. Some had experienced good transitions from school to adulthood but, for the majority of young people, the transition had been less
than ideal.
