Question	Answer
01	Yes
02	Yes
03	Yes But it needs to be enforced.  Many existing rights in existing legislation are not.  There is little piont in having g an autism act that is simply ignored by local service providers.
04	Yes
05	6 months is reasonable
06	It's reasonable
07	Again it's reasonable
08	NICE guidance is evidence based so yes it should be used.
09	Yes
10	Not sure As long as it's could and not should.  Should makes it difficult to get everyone and can lead to delay.
12	Yes.  Lack of autism awareness among staff.  Restricted budgets. Failure to enforce existing rights.
13	Yes
14	What follow up support services where offered.
15	Not sure
16	Yes How can you enforce the act or tackle lack of compliance without information
17	It should happen all the time.
18	It all come down to whether the act will be enforced or not.  It would be easy for it to become another well intentioned bit of paper that has no real impact on autistic people and their families. Raising awareness of autism among service providers alongside consistent monitoring and evaluation of its impact will be key to its success.  By success I mean improving life opportunities for autistic people.
