The Autism Act in the UK, can someone explain it to me?

Post Reply New Topic

The Act to which you are referring applies only to England and Wales. The OP asks about the Autism Act in the UK. There is no such Act. I live in Scotland - the Act you are talking about has no effect here. England and Wales are not the UK.

i think this is the u.s version of the human rights act over disabilities.

ive been watching the budget today and it seems that my country will go to U.C (universal credit) by the end of the year. so watch out for the pinch. o, and also,ive tried to get onto my m.p about these issues not with the economy but with supporting those who need it for getting jobs and accessing government spending for casual drop ins centres. ive put forward my comments in the past, and am doing so again. im wondering where all the spending will be grounded on this time. nobodys really going to save any money in the shortfall of this climate so better to use it where and when necessary in light of these budget and spending cuts.

It is obvious what was meant. This is whirlingmind's point- you're being pedantic for the sake of pedantry. Just because it doesn't apply in Scotland and Northern Ireland doesn't mean it doesn't apply in the UK, in the same way that you don't live in England or Northern Ireland but do live in the UK.

The Autism Act (Northern Ireland) 2011 http://www.legislation.gov.uk/nia/2011/ ... ts/enacted

An autism bill has just been introduced in the Republic of Ireland, which might possibly be enacted within the next year or so.

someone keeps updating these on different sites, so its hard to keep a track of them especially when all the job centres want to keep people off benefits or preventing them from peering into the pipe-line once too often. well tough, because im smart enough to find the tory regulations on here and try so take a leaf out of my book as the story wont end here. it never ends.

If we're not in a state denial or uproar now someones changing the books or flinging back a shoe at the opposition in a benign attempt to savage a forgotten life formally made up of equal elements and a u.k with prosperous yet potentially life changing stats. i feel like the new pope now and am wondering how he finds the euro crisis staring him in the face every day from now on and waving a solemn hand at the bypassers below who come to greet him.

if the tories think we weren't clever enough before all this madness started then they're in for a surprise.

The ranks are considerably frowned upon in this economy and the country is forever changing so we cant break under its spell now.

If you lived in Scotland or NI, you would understand that this is not pedantry. I've sat through countless news reports, where they've gone on about some legislation, thinking about what it meant for me, only to find out at the end or at a later date that the legislation did not apply here. If we were talking about a law that only existed in Scotland, as if it was a UK law, I'm sure there would be a great deal of confusion and nobody would be accused of being pedantic, if they pointed out the flaw.

ive recently found a link to someone with asd and other disabilities. she has got a video link and a twitter account but i ve also read she does private consultations for £100. this may be help with getting a diagnosis or otherwise just actively campaigning for someone to do something for people across the board.

The OP is not in Scotland or NI though.

The title of the thread is 'The Autism Act in the UK, can someone explain it to me?' Members have pointed out that this is a confusing question, primarily because there is no so such thing as an Autism Act, for the UK. For the sake of the Scottish and Northern Irish members of WP (some of whom may be unaware that the Autism Act does not affect them), it is quite right that members have seen fit to point out this error.
