It is the adaptive grant. It also applies to local authority housing. Do they all take into account that an additional room may be needed where there is an autistic child? That could be to provide a sensory room or quiet space. Sometimes parents tell me that a child does not sleep well, so they could not put two children in one room because one of them wakes up a lot and wakes the other. My local authority takes this into account, but I do not think all local authorities do. Can that be standardised, because we have an increasing rate of autism and it is something that needs to be looked at?
