Service for Adults with Autistic Spectrum Conditions (ASC)

Adult Autism Strategy, Department of Health
This advice note for commissioners of services for adults with autistic spectrum conditions (ASC) is one of a number of actions that I have publicly committed to taking forward to make real changes to the health, well-being and social inclusion of all adults with ASC. The Government’s programme of work aims to do a number of things, including supporting professionals who work with people with ASC; developing a better understanding through research and good practice guidance and making the right links with other strands of cross-government work that will be beneficial to adults with ASC. This work on adults is alongside the cross-government work in relation to children and, when coupled with the right transition arrangements, will help deliver more joined-up and holistic support for all people with ASC.
