Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to consider how austerity and managerialism impact advocacy services. It outlines the many roles advocacy encompasses and the benefits advocating contributes to the rebalancing of power.

Design/methodology/approach

This is a commentary on Watts’ article on UK policy underpinning advocacy for autistic adults.

Findings

It is suggested that advocacy is poorly funded and therefore access is limited at a time when advocating for autism is most needed.

Originality/value

This viewpoint extends the current debate around advocacy by considering its core function: solidarity with people seeking adequate support.

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this commentary is to reflect upon not only the importance of design processes as set out in “Designing living environments with adults with autism” but to call for the benefits of good design to be applied to staff functioning.

Design/methodology/approach

This paper is a commentary on a piece of research.

Findings

As much consideration for the design of approaches to maintain helpful staff behaviour must be provided by those creating services as is given to the physical setting.

Originality/value

The unique approach this paper presents is acknowledged as probably not universally applicable; what is replicable is bringing creative methods of design to bear in the task of delivering what for so long our rhetoric has called for.
