The National Assembly for Wales has voted to look further at whether a specific law is needed on support for autistic people, their families and carers in Wales.
Assembly Member Paul Davies introduced the debate on the Autism Bill for Wales in the Assembly and is now working on developing the case for legislation. He would like as many autistic people and family members as possible to respond to a consultation and have their say.
