Autistic Voices report will help shape new autism strategy for our area

Our new report highlighting the health and care experiences of autistic people from Cambridgeshire and Peterborough is published today.

‘I was seen in A&E with chest pain - it was due to having Covid pneumonia. Every member of staff was superb. I had bloods, X-ray and ECG. No treatment needed. Just told to go home and rest and that it would take time. Excellent care.’
