Synopsis

All of us, including people with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) want certain things out of life. And they are often ordinary things: we may aspire to a home where we like living; a job we enjoy; or a chance to pursue our interests. It can be harder for people with an ASD to realise these aspirations but, with appropriate services and support, they can be helped to live a fulfilling life with as much independence as possible. Local authorities have a key role to play in providing services which allow people with an ASD to reach their full potential. This report offers a series of recommendations about how these services can best be planned, designed and delivered, and encourages local authorities to promote independence for all people with an ASD.
