Results of a survey into what matters most to people with learning disabilities and autistic spectrum disorders in Scotland are presented. 605 people (about 1 in 200 of the population of people with learning disabilities in Scotland) replied to a postal questionnaire. What matters most to people with learning disabilities is getting their own home, having friends and being able to go out more. They also want to make sure they stay in contact with family and they keep the support that is essential to their independence. They enjoy socialising more than anything else and next to that, sport. They hope for new experiences. Findings and conclusions from the research in terms of choice and independence, friends and relationships, leisure, work, and education and training are presented.
