The agreement aims to improve the emotional well-being, autonomy, inclusion, and social participation of adults with ASD, as well as to support their families. The program also incorporates a gender perspective, paying special attention to women with ASD, due to the detection difficulties and underdiagnosis that often affect this group.
The Asperga director presented the entity's main challenges and needs to the minister, with the goal of evaluating new avenues for collaboration to strengthen support for those most in need.
In this regard, the minister recalled that the Xunta is working on the first Galician Autism Plan, which seeks to reinforce resources and interventions for diagnosis, early intervention, comprehensive health guarantees, and inclusive educational responses. The plan will also address the transition to adulthood, facilitating access to employment and training.
