— the best start in life and go on to achieve their potential and have a healthy adolescence and early adulthood;

— the best possible mental health and wellbeing and have a good quality of life;

— live well and live longer.

Rotherham CCG Commissioning Plan (2018 – 20) gives a commitment to ensure; all children, young people and adults with autism in Rotherham are able to:

— live fulfilling and rewarding lives within a community that accepts and understands them;

— receive a diagnosis and access support if they need it;

— depend on mainstream public and third sector services to treat them fairly as individuals to get the right information and help them make the most of their talents.
