Historically, there has been an expectation that autistic children
and adults should conform their behaviour to social norms, with
strategies and interventions centred around navigating spaces and
situations with minimal damage. This person-centred environmental
assessment and modification programme moves away from this, with
the aim to provide information and tools for assessing and
reflecting on features of the autistic person's environment to best
support their comfort, autonomy and agency. Written as a
collaboration between autistic and non-autistic professionals, the
authors break down each environmental element (physical, sensory,
emotional, communicative and social) by chapter and include
checklists as reference points to equip the reader with a framework
from which to begin. This accessible, strengths-focused approach to
supporting autistic people across different areas of their life
reflects a paradigm shift from one where autism is treated as a
deficit or impairment to one of strength, acceptance and autonomy.
