I was listening to the CQC Podcast today on the Out of Sight Progress Report. It was a great listen; particularly having a parent of, and an autistic person around whose experiences it centred.
It was difficult listening to their experiences, especially those of illegal segregation and isolation. What really landed with me was the autistic person, Amanda, herself requesting that all care be ‘Trauma-informed’.
Amanda said that even if people haven’t suffered historic or recent abuse, it is traumatic having Autism in a world that is designed by and for people without autism. More training needed in this area.
