National Audit Office Report 2009
NAO Report Supporting People with Autism Through Adulthood

Although published in 2009, and therefore a little out of date in some respects, this report remains one of the most important statements in relation to social policy and adult autism in the UK. The report also presents some of the potential benefits and cost savings to be gained from better provision and specialised services.
