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.
