Fund Autistic Support Services for Adults in every city

Closed 79 signatures

What the petition asks

I would like the government to set up a support service for people with an Autistic Spectrum Disorder. A service that offers support and advice from Autism Mental Health Specialists 24 hours a day, accessible to every person in the country with Autism if needed.
I currently live with an ASD diagnosis. There is no adult autism service that can offer me support, therapy or a direct number to call if I need help where I live.

As autism is a different way of thinking and perfecting, calling 111 is not appropriate, as sometimes we may just need advice for day-to-day activities.
