Autistic man has made 'enormous progress' in care placement, court told

A young autistic man with a moderate learning disability, previously taken into care amid concerns of physical violence and exposure to pornography in his home, has made “enormous progress” in a residential care facility, the High Court has heard.

The man was previously made subject of care orders but, on expiry of those after he turned 18 last year, he was made an adult ward of court and then moved to a residential care placement with access to therapies and supports.
