Part Publication Withdrawn

The Autism findings in this publication have been withdrawn (Highlights and the Autism Spectrum Disorders in Adults Living in Households Throughout England - 2007, Report from the Adult Psychiatric Morbidity Survey). This is because a processing error has been identified that impacts the values quoted. The scope and the scale of the impact is being assessed and revised figures will then be produced and plans for their publication will be updated as soon as possible.

NHS England apologises for the inconvenience caused.

Summary

This report presents data on the presence of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), based on the data collected at phases one and two of the Adult Psychiatric Morbidity Survey (APMS) 2007. These findings were not included in the initial survey report. Estimated disorder prevalence is presented by age, sex, ethnic group, marital status, highest educational qualification, equivalised household income, economic activity status, receipt of benefits, housing tenure, area level deprivation and predicted verbal IQ. The level and nature of treatment and service use is considered, although the sample size means that this cannot be explored in detail.
