NHS England with support from the Association of Directors of Adult Social Services, is visiting a selection of areas to talk to clinical commissioning groups and local authorities about their Autism Diagnostic Care Pathways. Based on information provided in the most recent local authority Autism Self-Assessment exercise, the areas selected include those areas that have assessed themselves as having a diagnostic pathway in place, those who appear to be facing obstacles, and those who have no pathway in place.
