We're pleased to be launching a new report in the House of Commons later today which looks at the challenges experienced by families affected by autism from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) communities in England.
People of all ethnicities living with autism commonly face a battle to access a diagnosis and support, but our ‘Diverse Perspectives’ report found that language and cultural differences can create additional barriers.
We’ve issued a series of recommendations to Government and local authorities suggesting ways that they can play their part in making sure the needs of people from BAME communities are met.
I have just read the above posting on facebook. My comment follows:
What we need is availability and accessability for all people. I'm actually a gay man, but don't want to be treated 'more fairly' than anyone else. Everyone has the right to treatment, whoever they are.
