Numbers from Rotherham

1%

  • Around 1.1% of the people in Rotherham have an autism diagnosis, this is around 2900 people.

 

A man stood thinking with an empty thought bubble

  • We think that some adults with autism might have no diagnosis.

 

A male and a female silhouette

  • 85% of people diagnosed are male.

 

Two women talking

  • We need to make sure the ways we diagnose autism works as well with females so we don’t miss any diagnosis or chances to support people.
