What should we be doing next?

1. More work is required to increase awareness of ASD 
2. More work is required to increase the identification of cases of ASD and to improve the collection of information including identification of service costs 
3. Better partnership working and leadership across agencies. 
4. Continuing to address the policy agenda of Valuing People, Valuing People Now and Better Services for people with an autistic disorder.
5. More work is required to review and analyse future national research into the adult prevalence of ASD, and to incorporate key findings into the JSNA.
