Proceeding contribution from Cheryl Gillan (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Friday, 19 June 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Autism Bill.
Autism Bill
That is absolutely correct: the figure is 15 per cent. However, as my hon. Friend knows, and as I know from meeting many adults with autism, their potential is far greater than that. With a small amount of assistance and the correct support, we can allow them to fulfil their potential and live their lives. That is what we should be doing in this country. I hope that the Bill, if it becomes an Act, will give this and future Governments a framework to concentrate on what needs to be provided to that very deserving group of people.
