Local authority support for adults with autism

As part of the National Autistic Society (NAS)  I Exist campaign, all local authorities in England were asked if they have a system in place to record the number of adults with autism in their area and if, in line with Department of Health guidance, they have appointed a named individual or team with responsibility for autism. 

With the support of thousands of campaigners who have contacted their local authority to raise these demands, the NAS have now received a response from over two thirds of local authorities.

A table has been produced this week and progress is indicated according to the following key:

  • green indicates progress in the area in question
  • amber indicates a recognition of the issues and a willingness to address these
  • red indicates no evidence of progress in the relevant areas
  • purple indicates that the NAS have not yet received a response from the local authority.
