“…(CQC, 2020, p.15) To achieve the shifts in thinking discussed in this paper, training must be embedded through dayto-day processes of reflection and supervision. Staff should have opportunities to share best practice amongst local services through communities of practice (Long, 2020). A staff culture which constantly seeks to understand and empathise with the perspective of the autistic person needs to be developed.…”

This discussion paper focusses on the current social care response to behaviour which challenges in autistic people and the persistent issue of the inappropriate detention of autistic people in institutional care settings. We argue that current approaches have been largely ineffective in reducing the number of autistic people in inpatient settings, and, more widely, ad preventing placement breakdown and reducing the use of restraint. We analyse the problem from an autistic perspective and consider how the problem can be productively reframed. We propose, as have others, a rights-based approach to care which focusses on quality of life. We analyse the problem from an autistic perspective and consider how the problem can be productively reframed.

Anthropology in Action

Despite the recent theoretical debate over the importance of addressing emotions in fieldwork, most European undergraduate programmes in anthropology still lack methodology courses that specifically focus on the emotional impact of doing research. In this article, I draw from my research with activist parents of autistic children in Portugal to explore the affective dimensions of fieldwork experience. In particular, I give an account of how I have dwelled on the emotional challenges that I faced, how these have resulted in vehicles of understanding and affected the analysis of my work as an anthropologist. While fieldwork experience always entails unexpected and surprising emotional challenges, I argue that as anthropologists we can surely benefit from more tailored support networks, safer spaces for discussion, and better pastoral care.
