"By some fate of the calendar we are discussing this directive today, while we are voting on it tomorrow, which is World Autism Awareness Day. This augurs well.
It is clear to us that in reality there are major discrepancies between Member States’ national legislation on the rights and interests of people whose life is affected by autism. The discrepancy is even greater if we compare the everyday lives of the people affected.
There is a long way to go to achieving European standards, but some progress needs to be made. Autism must be recognised as a separate disability among mental disabilities and specific strategies must be devised for it.
This may seem costly to some, but receiving equal treatment is an absolute must, as it is for those suffering from other disabilities, so that we can respect ourselves and the values of European society."@en1
