Résumé

Objectif Le besoin de plaidoyer pour les adultes autistes est souligné dans de nombreuses politiques gouvernementales et lignes directrices de bonnes pratiques. L'objectif de cet article est d'examiner la législation et les politiques relatives au plaidoyer en faveur des adultes autistes en Angleterre et d'explorer si cela se traduit dans la pratique. Il vise également à clarifier quelles politiques peuvent être appliquées en vertu de la législation actuelle et à mettre en évidence les lacunes du pouvoir législatif permettant d'assurer la mise en oeuvre des bonnes pratiques. Conception/méthodologie/approche Cet article vise à définir ce que l'on entend par plaidoyer en faveur de l'autisme. La législation pertinente, y compris les droits de l'homme, le handicap et les lignes directrices spécifiques à l'autisme, est examinée à l'égard des adultes autistes en Angleterre. Résultats La mise en oeuvre de la politique de plaidoyer en faveur de l'autisme semble varier considérablement selon les ressources locales et individuelles. Originalité/valeur Les adultes autistes et les services qui les soutiennent peuvent ne pas connaître les politiques et lignes directrices relatives au plaidoyer ; ils peuvent également être déconcertés par la profusion de lignes directrices différentes ou ne pas savoir comment les mettre en oeuvre. Des recherches supplémentaires sont nécessaires pour examiner les obstacles à l'application pratique de la politique de plaidoyer en faveur de l'autisme.

Purpose The need for advocacy for autistic adults is emphasised in many government policy and good practice guidelines. The purpose of this paper is to investigate legislation and policy relevant to advocacy for autistic adults in England and explore whether this translates into practice. It also seeks to clarify which policies can be enforced under current legislation and highlight the gaps in legislative power to ensure implementation of good practice. Design/methodology/approach This paper aims to define what is meant by autism advocacy. Relevant legislation, including human rights, disability and autism-specific guidelines, are discussed in respect to autistic adults in England. Findings Implementation of autism advocacy policy appears to vary greatly according to local and individual resources. Originality/value Autistic adults, and services that support them, may be unaware of the policies and guidelines relevant to advocacy, they may also be confused by the plethora of different guidelines or unsure how to implement these. Further research is needed to review obstacles to the practical application of autism advocacy policy.
