Diolch. People are born with lifelong autism spectrum conditions and autistic people see, hear and feel the world differently to other people. If you are autistic, you are autistic for life. Autism is not an illness or disease and cannot be cured. Often, people feel being autistic is a fundamental aspect of their own identity. Our motion recognises that, while some progress has been made to improve autism services in Wales, there are inconsistencies in the service and support offered, which impacts on outcomes for autistic people and their families.
