Description / Beschreibung
The prevalence of autism has increased significantly in recent years, leading to increased demand for diagnostic and support/intervention services. Local context impacts on specific issues, as LMIC countries experience a lack of skilled diagnosticians, whereas HIC services can be overwhelmed by referral numbers. Innovative approaches that have been introduced have potential to improve service delivery regardless of setting.This book both better understands the current challenges faced, and explores solutions that have been adopted across the world for those redesigning services at either local or national level to meet the growing demand.
