Scared, lonely and depressed

***** has difficulties in all aspects of his daily life and experiences severe anxiety especially when
dealing with people and places with other people in them e.g. ****** experiences severe
anxiety about knocking on the office door and going in to speak to staff at his supported
accommodation. ****** also experiences severe anxiety about walking through communal
areas every time he comes and goes from his flat. Due to his Autism, ****** finds it
extremely hard to go to places he has not previously visited without experiencing
overwhelming anxiety, and he is unable to approach anybody to ask for help.
Due to his Autism, ****** struggles to cope with any changes in his daily routine, this adds
to his anxiety. ****** finds it difficult to engage with people without prior notice of the
interaction. Even with prior notice ****** needs ongoing support of people trained in Autism
to communicate effectively.
Due to his Autism, ****** experiences high anxiety levels whenever he is interacting with
others and also takes what is said to him very literally. The combination of ******'s high
anxiety levels and taking things literally when interacting with others means that he has
difficulty fully comprehending what people are saying to him, and ****** is unaware that he
hasn't fully understood or has misunderstood. Consequently, ****** often agrees with what
is being asked of him or said to him without realising the full meaning of what he is saying
