Survey about the ESCAP practical guide to autism
The European Society for Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (ESCAP) published the « ESCAP Practical Guide to Autism: Summary of Evidence-based Recommendations for Diagnosis and Treatment » in 2020. The publication summarizes current information on autism and focuses on ways to detect, diagnose and treat it.
This survey designed at the request of one of our member organisation seeks to assess the use that is currently made of the ESCAP practical guide to autism.
All answers will be treated anonymously. Thanks a lot for your cooperation!

Autistic people, their families and support persons are called to share their views on important policy improvements in the framework of the autism research consortium AIMS-2-TRIALS, of which Autism-Europe is a partner. The research, carried out by the University of Cambridge, aims at exploring their priorities for policy change to improve the lives of autistic people across Europe and beyond.
Study of screening diagnosis and early intervention in children with autism
AIMS-2-TRIALS partners are collaborating with the London School of Economics on an economic/ policy study of autism screening, diagnostic and early support/ intervention services for autistic young people, aged 0-18-years.
As part of this study, funded by the European College of Neuropsychopharmacology, we have launched an anonymous online survey to collect information from parents, close relatives, carers and representatives of autistic young people on their lived experiences of accessing autism services.
The information collected from the survey will be used to inform policies on the design and development of services that better meet the needs of autistic people and their families.
The survey is currently aimed for parents, close relatives, carers and representatives of autistic young people in Spain, and the UK. If you wish to find out more information about the survey, or to take part, please see the link provided below:
