What the petition asks
Make it mandatory for all schools, higher education, businesses and public services to have at least 1 person trained in Level 2 Understanding Autism at a minimum. There needs to be someone in the building/on shift/available at all times for students, employees, employers, customers and the public.
In 2022 I left university and my studies because I felt they did not understand autism or my needs. I felt the whole 18 months I attended were a constant battle of me repeating my needs. I believe this could have been avoided if they had better understood the adjustments I required.
