Fulfilling and Rewarding Lives: The Autism Strategy for adults with Autism in Wiltshire
The ‘Wiltshire Autism Partnership’ would like to know your views about the strategy for adults with autism in Wiltshire. This strategy has been written so that:
“All adults with autism are able to live fulfilling and rewarding lives within a society that accepts and understands them.
"They can get a diagnosis and access the support if they need it, and they can depend on mainstream public services to treat them fairly as individuals, helping them make the most of their talents.”
To help make this happen, there are 5 areas that the Wiltshire Autism Partnership are focusing on;
To improve information about the number of adults with autism in Wiltshire
To increase the awareness and understanding of autism in Wiltshire
To develop a clear and equal way for people to find out if they have autism (getting a diagnosis)
To improve ways for adults with autism to use the services and support they need to live independently within the community.
To support adults with autism into work
