I will make sure that this is considered as a core component. I note that some universities are now making a real effort to become autism friendly. We have some very bright students and very bright people in our country but they are not the challenge.

While I am not yet sure of the composition of the steering group, I will make sure there is an opportunity for meaningful input.
