In order to highlight the lifelong difficulties experienced by people with autism spectrum disorders and those who care for them, the National Autistic Society chose the theme of 'planning for life' for Autism Awareness Week 2004. This report brings together evidence on current outcomes for people with autism spectrum disorders, covering diagnosis, school exclusions, living at home, employment, people with learning disabilities and the criminal justice system, advocacy and carers. It includes examples from people who have experienced significant difficulties in their everyday lives that could have been avoided with effective multi-agency planning. It discusses policy developments, including transition planning and personal life plans, and sets out recommendations regarding young people, adult services, and general issues.
