| Résumé : |
Assessing the needs of adults with Asperger syndrome (AS) in order to make appropriate and sufficient provision presents a number of challenges. In this paper, Chris Mitchell, who leads an Asperger-specific team in an adult social care department, identifies some of the issues arising. He argues that unless these are addressed, some adults will not engage with the assessment process, feel patronised by it and/or their level and nature of their needs might be under-estimated. With the drive towards personal budgets and the current recession, it is vital that professionals are aware of these issues so that adults with AS can access provision that matches their needs. As such, this paper raises useful points for discussion with others involved in services and for family members. |
