The motion

That the Parliament welcomes the launch of a new project by Heriot-Watt University and Scottish Autism, which seeks to better understand the experience of older autistic people with learning disabilities; understands that the project has been funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council and will involve the use of film-making and art to help explore the experiences and hopes of older autistic adults; notes that Iceberg Productions, a group of autistic filmmakers supported by the Untold Motion Picture Company, will interview a number of older autistic adults, and that this film will be shown at workshops where artists will support the creation of a collective artwork that will express the hopes and aspirations for the future health and care of older autistic people; considers that this is an exciting and unique venture, which will help highlight the experiences of a section of society whose views are not, it believes, often included in service design, and looks forward to the results of the project being shared following its conclusion in March 2024.
