Campaigners are calling for a new commissioner to champion the rights of people with autism and learning disabilities.
The three charities behind the campaign say families are exhausted from fighting to get much-needed support and status as equal citizens.
They say a commissioner would close the current gap between what the law says and what actually happens in reality.
The Scottish government said it would explore further the potential role.
The charities - Enable Scotland, National Autistic Society Scotland and Scottish Autism - have said they hear every day of people struggling to access their rights to education, work, a family life, healthcare and high-quality social care services.
Ken Macintosh MSP with Nick Ward from NAS Scotland TEACHER training is to be changed to ensure all those studying for a career in the classroom are better informed about autism. The proposal forms part of an action plan described by campaigners as “life-changing” for both pupils and teachers. The plan, produced by the Scottish Government, the General Teaching Council for Scotland, Education Scotland and the Scottish Council of Deans of Education, bids to improve autism awareness and training within schools and other educational settings. It also contains a pledge for there to be a “common baseline of content on autism” in all initial teacher education.
