Support for people with ASD

scoobydoo1998

Hello, 

Just need to ask someone for their personal experiences and support what they think appropriate support is for people

with autism spectrum disorders in a supported accommodation housing setting 

1: what support should someone with autism recieve?

2: What support should they not be receiving 

3: How should the staff behave around me and communicate to me ideas/thoughts/beliefs etc 

4: What support is not appropriate?

Please could someone just give me some information

  • First of all, a housing situation should minimise open artificial light, be mindful of electronics buzzing, high pitched frequencies and seek to kill on-going drones of noise. Artificial light should be properly diffused and one reading energy efficient halogen allowed. Walls should be bare and Functional Aesthetic kept in mind. No noisy curtains. Bedding should be natural cotton, not mixed fibres. There should be access to fresh air 24/7. These should be basic. Everyone should be mindful that gut-health can cause extreme pain even death and we are incredibly vulnerable to chemically made products and modified food sources - essentially anything non-human friendly.

    As for communication and behaviour, we can all be reasonable and do our part to work toward helpful 'virtues' or grounding principles. Respect, Openness, a desire to understand, a setting aside of the ego to try and see the Other, affording dignity. Never assuming, always asking helpful questions and double checking I understand by repeating back a thing or asking, 'are you implying / asking this'.

    Just a few ideas.
