Happens all the time in mental health services- we’re very aware of it. Please remember all vulnerable adults are just that- vulnerable.

Good point raised.

These types of crimes can happen to people with autism and sadly do happen, in our experience.
It also includes online ‘friends’.

Tomas’ comment, and Planet Autism hit the nail on the head. There is also a balance to be had regarding adults’, but generally, people with a learning disability or diffculty, and/or autism are by that very definition, vulnerable. Therefore, it is normal and understandable for parents and carers to take steps to keep their family members safe. That is very often viewed as over protecting them.

There is a need for more training of social workers, paid carers and support workers and teachers in understanding those with autism, and learning disabilities in general. They are more vulnerable, and mostly not aware of it.

Interesting to see this being talked about at least.

Autistic people without learning disabilities are just as likely to experience ‘mate crime’, that is often forgotten- being isolated by peers but desperately wanting friends, and also difficulty understanding people and their intent easily leaves a person open to deception and abuse.

‘Mate crime’ is not solely a LD issue.

I suspect this article is intended for adult social care but autistic children are very vulnerable to this problem too as well as bullying. Children’s social care need to take seriously, parents who know their children’s vulnerabilities instead of trying to fit such children into tick-boxes and misjudge parents as over-protecting or even emotionally harming. There is a huge amount of ignorance among social workers about autism and it is very detrimental to families.
