In order to answer your request fully, we would need to create a bespoke analysis showing quarterly suicides with a diagnosis of Asperger's syndrome. Such services would be subject to legal frameworks, disclosure controls, resources. Please note, there may be a charge for this work which would be subject to our charging policy. If you have any further enquiries or would like any further information on commissioning ad hoc analyses, please contact Health.Data@ons.gov.uk
