In Adult Social Care, we are trying to improve our recording of people who are either diagnosed, self-identify, or suspected to be Autistic.

We have introduced a new category to the Mosaic Conditions/Disabilities tab. There are now two different categories for recording Autistic people:

• Autism (AUT) – Please use this label when someone has a diagnosis of Autism.
• Autism – suspected to be or self-identifies as Autistic – Please use this label when someone does not have a formal diagnosis, but self-identifies as Autistic, is on a waiting list for a diagnostic assessment, or has notes from health professionals indicating that they are likely Autistic but have not had an assessment.
•  

Please check the Conditions/Disabilities tab of people you are working with, to ensure they have the correct Autism label if appropriate.

Please see this guide for how to add a Condition/Disability on Mosaic: Adding Health Conditions
