New plans to help Peterborough become an autism friendly city

New plans to help Peterborough become an autism friendly city have been launched.

The strategy was developed by Peterborough City Council, Cambridgeshire County Council and the Cambridgeshire & Peterborough Clinical Commissioning Group in partnership with local organisations, service user groups and parent carer forums, drawing on the knowledge and understanding of those with experience of autism.

The priorities for the strategy include:

• Having a clear diagnostic pathway for children and adults with good support throughout the process, combined with good support before and after diagnosis
