Prevalence of Autism by region

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

  • Excellent thanks Longman.

    Cant help but thinking this would give a true representation of the number of individuals with ASC & AS across the country. So my question would be why has this not been donwe nationally? 

    Maybes an interesting action research topic to keep me amused in my free time.

    Thanks once again.
