Abstract
Sue Hatton is the autism advisor for a large health and social care company. She has many years of experience working with people with autism and delivering training. Here she describes the work she did implementing the “Think Autism” method, which combines training with ongoing focus groups and reviews. The central idea is to ensure that what staff learned about autism in training was put into practice in their everyday work. Family members and the person with autism were involved in planning and reviewing plans and the emphasis is on looking at things from the point of view of the person with autism. This reduces the likelihood of misunderstandings and mistakes occurring.
