AA

Local MP, Huw Merriman, has signed up to a local initiative to help people with autism to enjoy a better experience when visiting their shops and offices. The scheme, Autism Stress Alert, gives autistic people a card which they can display in shops and offices to highlight their condition and if they are finding the experience stressful and in need of help. Huw said 'Through the work I do with autistic people and organisations, I am aware that every day experiences can be incredibly stressful and, if not managed, can turn to isolation. I hope my neighbouring shops in Bexhill and across the Constituency, will consider signing up. The scheme is simple and requires only a little training and understanding. This should be good for autistic people and good for business.'

Autism

Since being elected as your MP I have spent time visiting parents who have autistic or Asperger’s-impacted children. Seeing first-hand the commitment of the families and how difficult it is for parents to get the support that they need has deeply affected me.
