The National Autistic Society’s Northamptonshire Centre is right here in East Northamptonshire and this excellent charity provides various means of help and support for autistic adults and their families. Among their services is a monthly parents’ meeting and I was pleased to be able to join their latest one in order to answer some questions and to talk in detail about autism specific residential care, wider support, and appropriate educational opportunities within North Northamptonshire. I am hoping to visit their facility in the near future and in the meantime I will be liaising with the relevant councillors and officers at North Northamptonshire Council to raise the concerns that were discussed, with a view to seeing what more can be done to improve services and opportunities for people with autism.
