We are delighted to welcome #ActiveProspects into membership of the Autism Alliance. Their work on supporting #autistic people to leave institutional settings & live in bespoke homes is truly outstanding - and resonates clearly with our #BreakingPointCampaign

We fully support @BASW_UK in their Homes Not Hospitals campaign.
Just like our #BreakingPointCampaign, it highlights the shocking situation of autistic people and those with learning disabilities who are stuck in hospitals - when they and their families want them to be at home.
BASW England's Homes Not Hospitals campaign addresses the urgent issue of persistently high numbers of people with learning disabilities and autistic people in inappropriate inpatient units.

We weren't alone in thinking that the Government's response to our #BreakingPointCampaign needed a follow-up letter.

...Autistic adults & their families say they want autism to be better understood by commissioners & social workers, so they can access the support they need.
We need a concerted push on training so that acceptance & understanding of autism is the norm..

…Specialist care providers want a more collaborative relationship with local authorities, so they can share knowledge and plan together.
We need to identify and share the best practice in developing these relationships…

Our #BreakingPointCampaign doesn’t just highlight the problems in #socialcare for #autistic people & their families.
It provides solutions too (and we don’t just mean decent funding) for policymakers & politicians to take forward.
A new proposal each day!...

Thank you to @AnnaKennedy1 for also highlighting our #BreakingPointCampaign when visiting Parliament and @RobertBuckland this week.
A working #socialcare system will benefit everyone, not just #autisticadults - and bring peace of mind for many families.
