Autism Act The Act made two key provisions: that the Government produce an adult autism strategy by 1 April 2010 that the Secretary of State for Health issue statutory guidance for local authorities and local health bodies on supporting the needs of adults with autism by 31 December Statutory guidance that local authorities and local health bodies have a legal obligation to follow

National Autism Strategy The Autism Strategy has five areas for action aimed at improving the lives of adults with autism: increasing awareness and understanding of autism; developing a clear, consistent pathway for diagnosis of autism; improving access for adults with autism to services and support; helping adults with autism into work; and enabling local partners to develop relevant services.

Autism SAF Th e purpose of the Self Assessment Framework is to: assist Local Authorities and their partners in assessing progress in implementing the 2010 Adult Autism Strategy; see how much progress has been made since the baseline survey, as at February 2012; provide evidence of examples of good progress made that can be shared and of remaining challenges.
