In November 2011, the Scottish Government launched a national Autism Strategy for Scotland and set out the national vision for Autism services. The core principles of which are that individuals with an ASD are respected, accepted and valued by their communities and have confidence in services to treat them fairly so that they are able to lead meaningful and satisfying lives. East Renfrewshire Council are seeking to understand the needs of people with an ASD and their carers, with the view to developing a local strategy which responds to those needs.
