Each autistic person receives support that is uniquely tailored to them as an individual.
Autistic people and where appropriate their family/advocates are actively involved in shaping the support they receive
in ways which are meaningful to them.
Approaches employed to support autistic people are informed by credible research that shows positive outcomes for
autistic people, together with practitioner expertise and the lived experience of autistic people.
• Approaches should be regularly evaluated to show they are achieving intended outcomes and changes made if they
are not.
• Whilst approaches can be those which are widely established within the field of autism, they should be adapted
according to what will work best for the individual.
• Where approaches may be less well-established, they are delivered by, or supported by, appropriately qualified and
experienced professionals, are based on a good understanding of autism and closely monitored to ensure that they are
not ineffective or harmful.
