Responses to the recent consultation provided clear feedback and suggestions which will help shape the first National Autism Strategy.
In total 392 people responded to the consultation, including 120 autistic people, 188 parents, partners, relatives or friends, as well as carers and professionals from various fields.
The consultation asked a range of questions about autistic people’s experiences, needs, and values, to provide a better understanding of the services and support required.
The report highlights resource availability and mental health as the two most common themes to address, including the narrow eligibility criteria to receive support and how this is delivered.
Respondents also raise the lack of autism awareness among the public and professionals on the Isle of Man as an issue.
