Very often, the practitioners working with this group have not had very much training in autism either during their initial training or in their subsequent professional development. In this paper, the authors describe the training they designed in coproduction with experts by experience and evaluate the feedback received from 52 participants who undertook the training. The data showed that staff positively rated the training, and that this enhanced their understanding and confidence in working with autistic people. Recommendations and reflections include the challenges involved and the value of co-production, and how training can be further modified and implemented to positively impact the quality of care provided to autistic service users in AMHS. At the time of writing, all three authors were working for West London Mental Health Trust in the Mental Health Autism Team (MHAT). Nicole Manchester is a Trainee Clinical Psychologist at Royal Holloway, University of London, and was on placement with MHAT whilst delivering and evaluating training. Samia Ezzamel is a Consultant Psychological Therapist and Lead of MHAT; Caitlin Deery is an Assistant Psychologist within MHAT.
