Autism Bill

Proceeding contribution from John Bercow (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Friday, 19 June 2009. It occurred during Debate on bills on Autism Bill.
To build on the point made by the hon. Member for Erewash (Liz Blackman), does my hon. Friend the Member for Guildford (Anne Milton) recall that TreeHouse's "Constructive Campaigning" parent support project research found that teachers and other staff had not been adequately trained, or trained at all, and still did not recognise the condition of Asperger's? I am thinking of a quote from the TreeHouse research, in which a teacher said to a parent, "I don't believe in Asperger's syndrome." Of course, it is a matter not of belief, but of fact.
