This study examined the prevalence of diagnosed and undiagnosed autism in England, revealing significant underdiagnosis, particularly among adults and older adults. As of 2018, while 2.94% of 10–14-year-olds had a diagnosis, only 0.02% of those aged 70+ were diagnosed, suggesting many older autistic individuals remain undiagnosed. The findings highlight the urgent need to expand and improve access to adult autism diagnostic services.
