Résumé

Le travail social a un rôle essentiel à jouer dans le soutien aux personnes autistes de tous âges. Que ce soit pour faciliter l’accès à d’autres services, tels que le logement, améliorer la qualité de vie ou dans une fonction de protection, les travailleurs sociaux ont la responsabilité juridique et morale de veiller à ce que leur pratique assure la participation pleine et équitable des personnes autistes. Malheureusement, les données de la recherche indiquent que la pratique n’est pas toujours inclusive et peut ne pas répondre efficacement aux besoins des personnes autistes. Cet article s’ajoute aux récentes recommandations britanniques pour la pratique et aux travaux académiques en travail social concernant le travail social et l’autisme. Il le fait en introduisant un cadre élaboré par des médecins autistes pour répondre aux besoins des personnes autistes dans les contextes médicaux, connu sous le nom d’« Autistic SPACE », et en examinant comment il pourrait être utilisé dans des contextes de travail social. Les cinq besoins autistiques fondamentaux reconnus dans le cadre SPACE sont abordés, à savoir : Sensoriel, Prévisibilité, Acceptation, Communication et Empathie. La manière dont une perspective du travail social proche de la pratique peut contribuer à développer davantage le cadre est également examinée, en étendant l’acronyme de SPACE à SPACES afin de souligner l’importance de la sécurité sociale et du soutien.

Social work has a vital role to play in supporting Autistic people of all ages. Whether in facilitating access to other services, such as housing, enhancing quality of life, or in a safeguarding capacity, social workers have a legal and moral responsibility to ensure their practice ensures full, equitable involvement of Autistic people. Regrettably, research evidence indicates practice is not always inclusive and can fall short in responding effectively to Autistic people’s needs. This article adds to recent UK practice guidance and social work scholarship concerning social work and autism. It does so by introducing a framework developed by Autistic doctors for meeting Autistic people’s needs in medical settings known as ‘Autistic SPACE’ and exploring how it could be used for social work contexts. The five core autistic needs recognised in the SPACE framework are addressed, i.e. Sensory, Predictability, Acceptance, Communication and Empathy. How a practice-near social work perspective may aid in developing the framework further is also considered, extending the acronym from SPACE to SPACES to highlight the significance of Social Safety and Support.
