Schools and local councils don’t understand how to help autistic children learn. And parents have to fight for the support their child is entitled to. I think this needs to change.

That’s why I’ve just signed an open letter from The National Autistic Society and Ambitious About Autism as part of their #HeldBack campaign, calling for a national autism and education strategy, to make sure no child or young person is held back from achieving their potential, because they’re autistic.

I took action and added my name to the open letter to the Secretary of State for Education. Please take a minute to join me in doing so.
