Autism strategy reveals 1,479 Islanders on the spectrum

It's predicted that there are around 1,479 people on the Island with Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC).

That's according to the autism strategy for 2024-34, which is scheduled to appear before Tynwald in January. 

The estimated figure is based on UK figures.

The main ambition of the strategy is to make the Island a place that's open to making changes and empowering those with ASC to participate fully in society.
