In the USA, autism support levels (1, 2 and 3) help show how much support a person needs. I believe the UK should introduce a similar system so that on paper, someone who is non-speaking, has pica, a learning disability and needs constant supervision isn’t viewed the same as someone with much lower support needs. This would help support, education and funding better reflect individual needs.","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":9,"created_at":"2026-07-17T05:15:24.591Z","updated_at":"2026-08-12T08:28:58.781Z","rejected_at":"2026-08-12T08:28:57.337Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2026-07-17T09:09:40.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_on":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"creator_name":null,"rejection":{"code":"duplicate","details":"We already have a petition open on recognising different levels of support required  by people with autism, which you may wish to sign:\r\n\r\nRequire NHS autism diagnoses to include assessment of level of support needed\r\nhttps://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/770800"},"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}}}
