Closed The government should stop councils from exempting Autism as a disability

Closed on

We call upon the government to stop local councils exempting Autism as a disability to cut costs. Local councils refuse to accept Autistic Spectrum Disorders as a disability for schemes and services such as Blue Badges, Radar Keys and Social Services Support, even when applications are backed by letters from medical professionals - this discrimination needs to stop NOW!
