🎉Autism Bill Passed🎉

The Autism Amendment Bill was passed on Monday 7th March 2022 at the NI Assembly with unanimous cross-party support. The new Private Member’s Bill sponsored by Pam Cameron MLA, will be the most comprehensive piece of single disability legislation within the United Kingdom.

Some of the changes that the Bill will introduce will be the creation of an autism information service and a cross departmental autism training strategy.  There will also be a requirement for the Department of Health to make provision for a regionally consistent adult autism service and early intervention service throughout Northern Ireland.
