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

  • Hi,

     

    Sorry I am trying to follow your posts, but I am finding it difficult.

    I live in Plymouth and I am trying to get support down here but my search is proving slow and difficult. I have been informed by a Mental health nurse that my difficulties in life are down to Asperger Syndrome and ADHD. I do work and with many aspects of life function well, but I still hit way too many brick walls. I am what I think is classed "Higher Functioning"?

    Anyway, this is mainly aimed at SR1Autism, but do you know of any self help groups in the Plymouth Area or how best I could find out?

    And how do I know if I am entitled to any support of any kind?

    Kind regards,

    Steve
