Dear Andrew, I am sorry I cannot provide what you wish for but I would like to be kept in touch with any info you get. My involvement is with a project for types of care within EU for people with autism. I have a real concern about the issue sfor people with autism about how they are or are not involved (disenfranchised) from effective particiaption in their services. Clearly there are intra-personal factors which could be perceived to have a bearing on this but I do not believe there is no way to make significant change to this over time. People will need support and acces to a larger voice - hence my interest in the results of your query. The only information I have gleaned about disability in europe is from Munday and Ely 'Social Care in Europe'which provides an overview of the formal structures.
