Seizing The Moment

We have launched our manifesto, Seizing the Moment, with a series of asks for Scotland’s political parties ahead of the 2026 Holyrood election. 

The manifesto contains five asks: 

1. Commit to delivering the Learning Disabilities, Autism & Neurodivergence Bill 

2. Introduce a National Neurodevelopmental Pathway Guarantee 

3. Improve support for autistic learners and an end to informal exclusions in education 

4. Deliver a reformed social care sector where specialism is recognised, third-sector providers are valued and the workforce is appropriately rewarded 

5. End the categorisation of autism as a mental disorder within the Mental Health (Scotland) Act 

The manifesto has been developed through listening to the priorities of autistic people and their families who use our services and who have contacted our Advice Line.
