Autistic Spectrum Disorder is a DISABILITY.

Autistic Spectrum Disorder is defined as a lifelong condition that affects how a PERSON communicates with, and relates to, other people. Autistic Spectrum Disorder also affects how a PERSON makes sense of the world around them.

The three main areas of difficulty, which all people with Autism share, are known as the 'triad of impairments'. They are

• difficulty with social communication (e.g. problems using and understanding verbal and non-verbal language, such as gestures, facial expressions and tone of voice)
• difficulty with social interaction (e.g. problems in recognising and understanding other people's feelings and managing their own feelings)
• difficulty with social imagination (e.g. problems in understanding and predicting other people's intentions and behaviour and imagining situations outside their own routine)

For further information on Autistic Spectrum Disorder, see the:

The Diagnostic Imaging Data Set was introduced by ISB 1577 Diagnostic Imaging Data Set, in response to the lack of detailed data on national data on Diagnostic Imaging tests for NHS PATIENTS. The original requirement came from the cancer strategy to improve GP direct access to certain Diagnostic Imaging tests, as a method was required to monitor implementation of this policy.

The Diagnostic Imaging Data Set, however, has many benefits for example, to:

• Provide NHS data on GPs’ direct access to tests, as well as tests requested via other referral sources. Benchmarking data will be fed back to GPs and, where appropriate, used to encourage increased use of tests, leading to earlier diagnosis and hence improved outcomes
• Provide more detailed NHS data than is currently available on test type (modality), body site of test and PATIENT demographics
• Enable analysis of turnaround times for tests
• Enable better analysis of cancer pathways by linking the National Cancer Registration and Analysis Service data to Diagnostic Imaging test data for cancer PATIENTS
• Allow Public Health England (PHE) to calculate more accurate estimates of the distribution of individual radiation dose estimates from medical exposures.

From April 2012 it became a mandatory requirement that all providers of NHS-funded Diagnostic Imaging tests for NHS PATIENTS in England submit the central Diagnostic Imaging Data Set on a monthly basis.

The Diagnostic Imaging Data Set facilitates the collection of clinical data and the sharing of such data to underpin the delivery of effective Diagnostic Imaging. It is structured around the clinical processes of local Radiology Information Systems (RISs) used by NHS Trusts and NHS Foundation Trusts. It records administrative data relating to Diagnostic Imaging test ACTIVITY.

Information is collected relating exclusively to Diagnostic Imaging test ACTIVITY. The Diagnostic Imaging Data Set describes Diagnostic Imaging tests that have taken place as part of a broader PATIENT PATHWAY. This includes PATIENTS referred from within the Organisation, either as an out-patient, in-patient or from Accident and Emergency Departments, or referred directly from their GP or another Health Care Provider.

The Diagnostic Imaging Data Set is collected from NHS funded providers of Diagnostic Imaging test SERVICES and submitted via a portal on the NHS Digital website. The submissions are processed and aggregate extracts are produced for provider and commissioner Organisations and national groups such as the Department of Health and Social Care and Public Health England. This also allows linkage to the National Cancer Registration and Analysis Service.

Please note that the collection of the Diagnostic Imaging Data Set does not replace any other collection of diagnostic data such as the Diagnostics Waiting Times and Activity Data Set (DM01), which should continue to be collected.Please note that the collection of the Diagnostic Imaging Data Set does not replace any other collection of diagnostic data such as the Diagnostics Waiting Times and Activity Data Set (DM01), which should continue to be collected.

A Learning Disability (formerly known as a Mental Handicap and referred to as an Intellectual Disability) is a type of DISABILITY.

A Learning Disability usually has a significant impact on a PERSON's life. A PERSON with a Learning Disability finds it harder than others to learn, understand and communicate.

People with Profound and Multiple Learning Disabilities need full-time help with every aspect of their lives, including eating, drinking, washing, dressing and toileting etc.

Learning Disability includes the presence of a significantly reduced ability to understand new or complex information, to learn new skills (impaired intelligence), with

• a reduced ability to cope independently (impaired social functioning)
• which started before adulthood, with a lasting effect on development.

Further information regarding people covered by definition can be found in the document 'Valuing People - A New Strategy for Learning Disability for the 21st Century'.Further information regarding people covered by definition can be found in the document 'Valuing People: A New Strategy for Learning Disability for the 21st Century'.

Although, from a social care perspective, an Intelligence Quotient (IQ) of seventy or less is not sufficient reason for deciding if an individual should be provided with additional health and social care support, the following definition is applied within the Mental Health Services Data Set in the specific circumstance where data providers do not have an explicit data item to capture whether a PATIENT has a Learning Disability. 

Someone is considered to have a Learning Disability when they function at a level of intellectual ability which is significantly lower than their chronological age. This is usually considered to be equivalent to having an IQ of seventy or less:

• Mild Learning Disability (roughly equivalent to an IQ of fifty to seventy) is comparable to the educational term 'Moderate Learning Difficulty'. It is usually caused by a combination of restricted learning and social opportunities plus a high rate of low to average intellectual ability and Learning Disability in close relatives.
  
  
• Moderate-to-profound Learning Disability (roughly equivalent to an IQ below fifty) is comparable to the educational term 'Severe Learning Difficulty'. It usually has a specific biological cause.

Note: A Learning Difficulty is a type of Special Education Need which affects areas of learning, such as reading, writing, spelling, mathematics etc.

Further information on Learning Disabilities, can be found on the internet, for example:
