The Core Capabililties Framework below is a UK government funded document that was developed with a significantly diverse array of opinion. This is important because there is so much disagreement when it comes to trying to define Autism. This document defines a concensus of opinion across the board of institutions, autistic lead bodies and industries that work with and alongside autistic people. At Autistic Futures we agree with these opinions as a work in progress model and that is why the standards for Autistic Futures are strongly aligned with this document.
