2021 Changing the Mental Health Act
A Mental Health campaign which started with a letter sent to the UK Government asking to change the definition of autism in the Mental Health Act in 2019.
We and hundreds of thousands of campaigners have been calling for these reforms for years, so the law respects autistic people’s rights.
