Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer. I welcome this opportunity to update Members on the work being done to improve support with and for autistic people. I'm pleased that the motion recognises that there has been genuine improvement, but there is, of course, more to do. And I do want to say at the outset that I do recognise the genuine commitment of Members right across this Chamber who have spoken—and equally those who have not—to deliver practical help and support across Wales to improve the lives of autistic people and their families. In particular, I do recognise the impact on families where improvement is not being made. I see that both as a Minister with my own engagement but equally in my own role as a constituency Assembly Member.
