recognises autistic people as a high-risk group, and the NHS Long Term Plan reaffirms

the next decade. This Plan will see investment in all areas of the country by 2023/24
to support local suicide prevention plans and establish suicide bereavement support
services.</p><p> </p><p>We are also revisiting the work to refresh the autism strategy,
working closely with the Department for Education and other Government departments.
