faidh 5 years: has been diagnosed on the Autism Spectrum. He has been difficult to manage as he resists food, doesn’t sleep and his mother Wafa, is struggling with competing advice from female family elders. She is showing signs of depression and is having difficulties copying and bonding with Faidh.

Identify 2 risk factors related to the parent and/or the child that may contribute to the risk of abuse or neglect?

Answer:
Mother is depressed
Mother is not bonding with child, she may resent him because she’s have trouble taking care of him.

Child is not eating or sleep, therefore the mother isn’t resting also

Are these answers ok?

Try not to add your judgement - use the facts in the scenario...

- Mother is depressed
- resists food
- difficult to manage
- struggling with advice
- difficulties coping
