Autism and Asperger's Syndrome

Autism and Asperger's Syndrome are also known as Autism Spectrum Conditions (ASC). People with these conditions have difficulty with social communication, and making sense of people's thoughts, feelings and actions. It is sometimes called a 'hidden disability'.

Over 50 people came to a Bradford LINk meeting to tell us what they think about services for people with autism and Asperger's Syndrome in the district. Bradford LINk has written a report about what we were told and given it to some of the people who make big decisions about the services.

As a result of this meeting we have started a workgroup that meets regularly to find ways of improving services for adults with autism in Bradford and Airedale.

If you would like to know more about this group call Becky Mears on 01535 665258.
