The Government remains fully committed to developing and publishing a revised cross-Government autism strategy in line with the Autism Act 2009. We will engage on the development of that revised strategy, including on whether it should be extended to cover attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and we will set out further details in due course. The current strategy will remain in effect until a revised strategy is published.
