This is the exemplar on autism which forms part of the National Service Framework for Children, Young People and Maternity Services.
The national service framework (NSF) for children, young people and maternity services has been published alongside supporting material, which includes a series of exemplar patient journeys. Whilst it is not the role of the NSF or the exemplars to provide detailed clinical discussion on individual childhood conditions, exemplars illustrate some of the key themes in the NSF.
