ASL402 Autism Support Across The Lifespan

The assessment is prescribed for you to advance your analytical skills, and your knowledge and  understanding of autism and the lived experience of individuals with autism across the lifespan.
 
The assessment is about the person first perspective of autism in the context of support needs in  adulthood for individuals and their carers.

This assessment prepares you to apply contemporary practices in the classroom using the person first perspective of autism, whilst understanding the varying support needs in adulthood.

This assessment requires you to critically analyse the case study presented in week 5. You will draw on literature specific to autism in adulthood and apply a person first perspective to discuss the issues  and challenges an individual and their carers face with regard to the range of factors and varied  support needs in day to day living.

You will need to read broadly about autism in adulthood and apply this in relation to the person  first perspective presented in the case. The responses require you to utilise problem solving skills.  You will demonstrate knowledge and understanding of autism whilst using a person first  perspective by comparing and contrasting autism in adulthood experiences and identify support  needs for both the individual and their carer.

The case study structure response should include the following:

Section 1. 

Introduce the case. 

Discuss the development of adulthood support knowledge in autism. 

Using a person first perspective for both the individual and carer, analyse the key issues of  the case. 

Provide a rationale for how adulthood experiences can impact an individual with autism  and their carer.   

Section 2.

Synthesise and describe changes and challenges throughout generations through an  individual and carer person first lens specific to autism in adulthood.  Describe the support needs required for the individual and carer using a person first lens in  relation to adulthood.
