You asked
Please can I request the number of people in the UK who have a Neurodiversity (ND), including those who have more than one ND.
If you have information on people over the age of 18 yrs with a ND that would be even better.
We said
Thank you for your request.
Unfortunately, we do not hold any data on neurodiversity diagnoses. However, NHS England (NHSE) have published their Adult Psychiatric Morbidity Survey, which currently has data for England between 2007 and 2014, including the prevalence of Neurodivergence (Autism and ADHD). Primary care data are held by NHSE, who may be able to assist further.
You can contact NHS England by email at england.contactus@nhs.net, and by telephone on 0300 311 2233 if you have any queries about these data.
