CASE STUDY - A
CASE STUDY A
Background
This case study is regarding XX who is a British Male aged 34 years. XX lives in supported living and attends BOLD 4 days a week. XX is diagnosed with Autism, Learning Disabilities, Colitis and has a lactose intolerance.
XX enjoys coffee, and juice but is restricted with snacks and fizzy drinks. XX talks slowly but has no problem communicating. XX likes playing his IPAD, colouring and swimming and singing, XX does not need help with his personal care or dressing and is independent in most areas of his life. XX does have 1-1 support at BOLD and at his home.
XX is very close to his mother and enjoys sleepovers every weekend at her home. “With my Autism I copy what people say and can repeat a lot”. XX has difficulty understanding negative words, but once explained he will “throw it away” This will reassure him that the situation is safe. XX enjoys his life everyday although he does miss his family, especially his mother
Identifying the Goal (problem)
-
XX has expressed he would like to work on his communication techniques as he is aware he sometimes struggles to process information
-
XX needs consistent and firm boundaries to be understood by others to avoid him becoming angry and agitated.
-
XX needs transport to and from home to attend BOLD
Identifying the solution
-
XX can communicate his needs verbally, he uses echolalia to help him process the information, sometimes communication can be misunderstood, and XX can become upset or agitated,
-
XX has boundaries in place, he always asks for a cuddle, he explains to staff if he doesn’t like anything and will throw away comments that he doesn’t like
Outcome
-
To calm XX is to re explain, apologise for the misunderstanding and throw away the comment that was not liked.
-
Keeping the boundaries in place remains ongoing and this will keep XX grounded, XX leads a calm life although structured, XX is now able to choose change if he wants too
-
XX has a taxi to and from BOLD, which is booked on an account, he is able to go in taxi alone.
