That the Parliament congratulates Autism Ventures Scotland on the opening of its first social firm, the gallery on the corner, which will offer six apprenticeships to young people with autism; notes that all the art and crafts on sale at the gallery will be created by artists who have experienced some form of disadvantage in their lives; recognises that the launch of the social firm is part of an overall strategy to support individuals with autism to lead the most productive and fulfilling lifestyles possible, and hopes that the gallery in the corner is the first of many social firms launched by Autism Ventures Scotland.
