Autism: 'Time You Knew'
In March a new National Strategy (plan) for Adults with Autism was published by the Government.
We are holding an event in September to talk about what this strategy means for Walsall, and to ask people to help us deliver it.
We are keen to have people with autism and their families and  carers involved in this work.
If you would like to be involved in this work please contact Sam Davies on 01922 650367 or daviessam@walsall.gov.uk
