2. How can Anita’s nutrition be improved?
3. What changes could be made to Anita’s environment?

22. Case Study 4

James has lived in the group home that you work in for five years. James is 22 and has autism. He is well settled and fully participates in all the activities and often helps organise activities. He is well liked by staff and clients alike; though some feel he takes his self importance as ‘the organiser’ too far.

One afternoon after a weekly outing James is found in the corridor arguing violently with a new resident, Bruce. You are first on the scene and manage to separate the two men and organise another carer to talk with Bruce while you sit with James. James indicates that he was angry because Bruce wouldn’t sit where he told him to. You realise you have heard this type of comment several times from James in the past few months.

• What would you discuss with James to find out more about the situation? Explain to him what you are going to do about his behaviour.
• How would you present this case to a team meeting?
