Conclusion
Inpatient facilities do not consistently meet the needs of autistic people and people with learning disabilities and too often this is because of factors such as the unnecessary use of restrictive practices; inpatient facilities being unable to accommodate individuals’ needs to avoid sensory overload; and the distance inpatient facilities are from individuals’ homes.
