Prevalence of Autism by region

SR1Autism

Hi all

First of all let me introduce myself. I work as a practitioner in a quite successful (in terms of Ofsted and LSIS Status) North East Autism specific charity as a teacher and development coordinator.

One of my main aims at present is to raising awareness among the general public and health care practitioners in the region. I am currently working with a large local authority to develop training for approx 500 practitioners across the region.

Anyway, I am looking for statistics on the prevalence of ASC and AS throughout the country by region. I thought this would be the easiest of tasks but it has eluded me up to now.  Any guidance (or just general pointing in the general direction) would be greatly appreciated.

Many Thanks

Parents

  • Local authorities are supposed to have collected this data as an outcome of the Autism Act, though I suspect the data is little better than what was around before. But there should be a local authority representative who is supposed to be geared up on autism. You have a good opportunity to test whether the Autism Act is being taken seriously.
