Transport

Transport policy should reflect autistic sensory needs eg my young adult daughter is terrified to cycle or take the tube, but will use a bus. Bus travel is often overlooked re LTNs and cycle lanes.

There is also an assumption that a blue badge solves the needs of disabled people. It doesn’t! Autistic sensory needs as debilitating but nothing to do with physical mobility.

ASD parents

Those all sound great. It would be lovely if there were youth groups for neurodivergent tweens/teens, similar to the sensory stay and play that St George's church in tufnell park runs twice a month. I would personally also welcome more staff working on EHCP pupils' secondary school placement, at Islington council, as they seem to have a very heavy workload which isn't in anyone's best interest.

Sunflower laynyard scheme

Asking local businesses to support the sunflower lanyard scheme, put up posters to confirm their awareness as an autism friendly establishment.Making Autism awareness a part of all school calendars, curriculums etc.
