Please refer to questions in the Online Survey.

Question	Answer
01	Yes I think a full explanation of asds and how they CAN effect children and adults would be of great benefit as long as it is consise and covers all spectrum disorders no matter how mild or strong and that any symptoms/effects the disorders have on a person there is no set list of issues 1 person can gave as it differs from person to person.
02	Yes As long as the people adding information are doing it with informed skill not just text book education.
03	Not sure I think the bill should be carried out by all health and social care professionals not just GPs
04	Yes I believe this will then stop local authorities letting people with asds down and I also think schools, colleges and Universities should be included in this so that they can better teach and support those on the spectrum as well as spot any signs in child
08	At present I and many parents have been waiting and fighting to get our children seen by the right people for diagnosis and I for one have waited 5 years to get a promise of an appointment for my eldest daughter and it's been 5years for my son and we still don't have an appointment with the right people.

11	They should also ask for more information from the people involved in a person's every day life as at present ISCAN do not do this, I beloved a parent/carer should be included in such meetings so as to give up to date information on the day to day difficu
12	Schools being under funded so children who have asd don't get any help, support etc. Nor will they even be referred by the school if a child is quiet in classes which many children with ASD can be due to them knowing what to expect at set times in school the routine can be comforting so they don't react to anything 8n school they keep it in until they get home so the school will ignore and wash their hands of such children as they are no bother. I'm speaking from experience as my 9 year old son.
13	Yes
14	Yes you should have information from everyone who has had contact with the person including GPs, opticians, dentists, dieticians, peadatritions anyone who has observed the person more than once and can give feedback about the person's behaviours during co
15	It should be written on the Bill. IT should be written on the bill so it has to be done and not ignored
16	Yes As stated above
17	It should happen all the time. ALL THE TIME
18	I hope this bill will make Wales a more accepting and less terrorfiying place for my children to grow up in and I also hope it will help me get the diagnosis and support for my children that they so desperately need.
19	I hope it is passed and that all my comments are helpful and taken noticed of as this needs to happen as soon as possible to help everyone understand and accept people on the autistic spectrums.
