I had clients who never really could engage in talking therapies with us, and having a cousin who is on the autism spectrum (Asperger’s) I was aware of the issues. I spoke to CAmhs re my ‘suspicions’, and the child psychiatrist confirmed them. When I raised that in supervision at the time, I was told not to have too much hope, to be given time off for training in this area.
I had to change my terms of employment from full-time to part-time, and had to pay for the course costs myself. But I felt it was important for me to be trained up to enable me to meet the children/young people’s and their families’ needs best. I also got the practice by volunteering with autism west-midlands in Birmingham.
And I could prove pretty quickly that there was a need for autism aware services within Children and Families, and that the approach of ‘what we normally do’ was not advisable. National standards are needed, proper training is needed if we want to do right by people on the autism spectrum and enable them to achieve their personal best.
