Hi all,
URGENT REQUEST
I’m caring for someone with Autism who is being assessed re their Capacity re 1)Care and Support (Supported Living) and 2)Contact with others. An Adult, late fifties.
No DOLS in place and not Sectioned.
A. The person I care for does have Capacity in other areas, but not in these two mentioned above, I feel. I’m finding it hard to understand what parts of Care annd Support, and Contact with others hard to clarify might apply as examples. So, any examples (a good long list would be so helpful!) that you can think of would be so useful.
B. I understand there’s the four criteria to assess someone’s to assess Capacity: Understand information, retain it, weigh info up, and communicate the decision …. is that correct?
All input is greatly appreciated! 
Tx
