Adults Count! A survey on Youth and Adults with ASD in Ontario
Since the 1990s, there have been major changes to the population of adults that are identified with an Autism Spectrum Disorder. Many adults seen in clinical practice report that their ASD and related symptoms provided challenges that are not addressed.
Adults Count! is a province-wide survey that will provide important information of the profiles and needs of youth and adults on the Autism Spectrum.
To receive information about Adults Count! or to participate in this survey, visit the Redpath Centre's website, by email at adult.survey@redpathcentre.ca or by phone at 416-920-4999 0165.
