Ensure needs of autistic people are met in any future pandemic response
Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, many Autistic people struggled to process and understand information, guidance and advice if they found any.
Appropriate, Autism-friendly information needs to be provided on all platforms - TV, Websites, Social Media, Newspapers etc, by the Government during a health crisis like this.
The mental health of many Autistic people has been negatively affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Emerald Insight Survey ‘The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Autistic Adults’ published in February 2021 stated:"72% of respondents reported some or significant deterioration in Mental Health during the pandemic” and said the most negative impacts were the result of “uncertainty and disruption of normal routine”. This needs preventing in a health crisis
