Submissions

AsIAm Submissions

AsIAm wants to transform the lives of Autistic people living in Ireland, by making our society a fairer and more equal place and supporting Autistic people to belong, and to feel accepted.  For real change to happen, there must be a shift in the legislative landscape. Government bodies need to incorporate the needs of the Autistic community into all their decision-making.  

As part of our advocacy work, AsIAm sends policy submissions to Government Departments and State Agencies so that the voices of our community are heard on a wide range of issues across Irish society. Submissions are formal advice and recommendations to help ministers or officials make informed policy decisions. The process of preparing a Submission involves collaborating with a wide range of perspectives within the Autism community, including Autistic people and families, and with professionals who work with Autistic people who provide key services, where appropriate. The purpose is to make sure that the barriers faced by Autistic people are identified and that we make recommendations to Government that will support our community to have the same chance.
