Question
To ask the Scottish Government when it will publish its review of the Scottish Strategy for Autism.
Answer
The Scottish Government has published the Evaluation of the Scottish Strategy for Autism 2011-21 on 24 September. In response I was delighted to announce £650k this financial year, for tests of change on adult neurodevelopmental pathways. Additionally I announced new funding of £425k to trial the Scottish Government’s new Learning Disability and Autism leadership and engagement work and £400k for the understanding autism project charity funding.
