We are developing an All-Age Integrated Autism Strategy.
This will help us understand how we can help autistic children, young people and adults living in the borough.
We have been working with autistic children, young people and adults to learn about what things they find most useful. They have helped us to identify a number of priorities and a vision for all autistic people in Bracknell Forest.
