Daslne (Database of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder Living in the North East)

Daslne is a database which aims to provide accurate information about the numbers of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) living in the North East of England.  It was set up to inform planning of future service provision.  You can join Daslne to help in future planning, and to take part in high quality research projects. You can register on-line via the Daslne website:   www.daslne.org

All information is kept confidential and secure, and reports from Daslne will never identify individuals in any way.

By the end of 2014, there were 1500 families living in the north-east whose child with ASD is registered with Daslne.

Daslne also acts as a source of information.  Parents, carers and professionals can gain access to a range of factsheets on problem topics like sleep, eating, sensory issues, toilet training, personal hygiene, anxiety and temper via the Daslne website.  Information about forthcoming events and opportunities, parent and carer groups and Autism-friendly film screenings  are forwarded on to Daslne families by e-mail.
