The State of South Australia (with Adelaide it's Capitol City), has just appointed Australia's first Autism Minister.
She will liaise with schools, especially to help with the many problems Autistic folks, and their families have to deal with, and co-ordinate with other various groups and agencies.
One of the aims is to help with employment prospects, which are very poor for many with Autism.
South Australia is also giving funding of $30 million for this project.
This is from The Canberra Times. It is being widely reported in Australia, and even BBC Radio Four had a story on it.
