Easy Read: Learning Disabilities, Autism and Neurodivergence Bill: Consultation Analysis
Easy read booklets prepared from the independent analysis, by Wellside Research, of responses to the consultation on a Learning Disabilities, Autism and Neurodivergence Bill, commissioned by Scottish Government.
Definitions
The most popular option was ‘ People who are Neurodivergent’ or ‘Neurodivergent People’ . People thought this was clear and correct. Nearly half of people preferred this option.
Some people felt that learning disabilities needed to be thought of as a separate group. They said people with learning disabilities did not identify with the term neurodivergent.
‘ Including specific named conditions only’: Just under a third of people preferred this option. People with Down’s Syndrome and their family, friends, carers and support organisations supported this option.
But some people thought this option might leave out some conditions.
