  • @ASDDiagnosis: I think you will forgive the slightly bitter tone of some adults with ASC on this thread, many of us have had a bad experience either with diagnosis or support following diagnosis.  We also have an issue (as part of our condition) in understanding peoples' motivations.  It's appreciated that you have gone into detail to clear some points up.  I did take part in this survey BTW.

    I would note that I disagree that Longman has exaggerated the figures.  I think it could be higher still.  There are a lot of undiagnosed people out there.  High-functioning people find it harder to get diagnosed as adults and therefore are not accounted for in figures.
