That this House congratulates St Helens RFC and St Helens Autism Support on their innovative campaign to raise awareness of autism; recognises that St Helens RFC wore a special kit at rugby league's Magic Weekend as part of this campaign; notes that the shirt will be seen by millions of people across the world; is confident that the campaign will help people to talk more openly about autism and improve understanding of the condition; and hopes that other sports clubs will follow the lead of St Helens RFC and St Helens Autism Support with similar campaigns in future.
