March 26, 2026 – OECD published an analysis of the benefits and services available in 11 OECD countries for children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. It finds large differences across countries in the level of support offered to different groups but also a general strong shift towards basing entitlement for support on the needs of individuals rather than just their diagnosis. The report calls for fairer diagnostic pathways and better-aligned policies to support children with autism and their families.
