This campaign attracted support from both members of Parliament and the public, and Healey delivered a petition to the Prime Minister's office signed by 4,000 people in favour of such expanded services and funding. He is also an ambassador, as well as a director and trustee, for the National Autistic Society, which is the largest autism charity in the UK.〔

He hosts his own show on on Blog Talk Radio, and he also founded internet-based Autism Radio UK.〔 In 2015, following controversial comments by Katie Hopkins, Healey set up an online petition signed by thousands of people calling for the former ''Big Brother'' star to apologise for her remarks mocking people with autism.
