Bob Buckley provided the submission below to the Oversight Committee of the National Autism Strategy (NAS) and the relevant Ministers. 

It was written quickly ... with less consultation than is ideal. While it's his submission, a summary of the issues raised was shared with A4's Management Group who provided input towards the submission.

A4 provided detailed commenatry on parts of the Health working group's draft Health Roadmap for Autism. 

A4 is extremely concerned that the NAS being developed is not being properly co-designed; instead the government officials who are write the strategy documents are being direct primarily by senior bureaucrats whose goals is to produce what they think the Ministers want irrespective of what the autism community/sector says. 

We await and will judge it one its merits.
