What the petition asks
At present individuals who have Autism Spectrum Disorder are finding it difficult to cope with lockdown. Not least routines and support from their families. Social emotional and behavioural interaction effects long term mental health and the uncertainty of future tier restrictions will become worse
Make it law to allow support bubbles to offer support during tiered lockdown. For example allow grandparents or close support carers to visit a family of five would become a 5+2 so rule of 6 is plus.
