| UKAF Appeals to G20 Leaders on World Autism Awareness Day | The UK Autism Foundation has appealed to G20 Leaders and the host Prime Minister Gordon Brown not to ignore the plight of the poor. They will be discussing the financial crisis on the United Nations World Autism Awareness Day. Those who are facing severe financial pain are parents, carers, children and adults with autism and Asperger’s Syndrome. The UKAF, a British charity, is deeply concerned about families with autism who are below the poverty line. Over 200 MPs in the House of Commons have signed three early day motions tabled by UK parliamentarians - John Battle MP (Chair of the All Party Parliamentary Group on Poverty), Rudi Vis MP and David Drew MP, supporting the call of the UK Autism Foundation for more help for the poor during the credit crunch and the deepening recession. UKAF has been campaigning on Poverty and Autism and are calling for financial help and support during the economic downturn in the United Kingdom and around the world.
