There are around 700,000 autistic children and adults in the UK, so it is vital that we all learn about the condition and how best to help those it affects.
Thanks to the National Autistic Society for organising a very informative training session for MPs recently, which certainly gave me better insight into the challenges that having autism can bring and how to support autistic constituents.
It was also a reminder of the need to continue to push for the best possible support for those with conditions like autism.
