Autism is a neurodevelopmental condition associated with differences in social communication and interaction, as well as a restricted, repetitive repertoire of behaviours and interests. Autistic people will have areas of interest and can possess abilities that are of potential benefit to both themselves and wider society. However, many find that their opportunities are limited. Here, we will discuss how a social model of care can help meet the needs of autistic people.
