The Government has published its #NationalDisabilityStrategy, with some important commitments. But to achieve its aims and really tackle the huge inequalities disabled people face every day, we need concrete long term plans and proper investment https://bit.ly/372DTlD (1/2)

Autistic people want to see the Government backing its ambitions with action - and delivering on its promise to reform social care and tackle inequalities. We'll keep holding them to account and fighting for real change. (2/2)
