CASE STUDY

Oliver lives with Asperger's and lives in a supported living accommodation, Oliver gets on well with staff and has some great friends, one of Oliver's passions is gaming which has led to him spending a large amount of time online, including on Social Media apps such as Reddit.

As part of Oliver's personality, he can become fixated and staff at the supported living complex have become concerned about Oliver being vulnerable to extremist views on social media; he has recently made some remarks to female staff, which was unlike Oliver.

Care staff at the unit spoke to Oliver's Mum and arranged an independent Mental Capacity Assessment with our team.

Our Social Worker initially met with Oliver and his Mum and then later with Oliver alone. Through completing a relaxed and therapeutic assessment, our Social Worker was able to evidence that while Oliver was highly proficient with using IT Systems, he struggled to weigh up the risks around social media; Oliver struggled to understand what was being said was not always true and was unable to weigh his own knowledge with that of the information being given to him via social media.

Accessing social media remained important to Oliver, so while it was evident, Oliver lacked the sufficient mental capacity to access social media; our team worked with Oliver, his support team and his Mum to ensure he still retained this freedom but in a safe, controlled way.
