Classified: Internal Personal and Confidential Case study Andrew is a 22-year-old man with autism who grew up in the care of children's services and lived in residential care. He receives Disability Living Allowance. His relationship with his family is difficult and a couple of years ago he stopped all contact with them. He clearly has some learning difficulties, although this hasn't been officially diagnosed. There are some issues with his personal hygiene. He has a history of limited engagement with both location services and employment. He has abandoned two tenancies because he has not coped with living alone and is now living in a short stay hostel. Andrew has a history of challenging services and people and is known to the police for a range of incidents, where he was either the victim (he had his mobile phone stolen and was physically and verbally threatened), or the perpetrator (throwing stones and stealing money). He has attended Accident and Emergency on a number of occasions following assaults. Andrew has now said that he is receiving threatening texts and messages on Facebook and that he is going to be seriously assaulted. He is now scared to go out.
