This thesis probed into the social work intervention in promoting social interaction for people with autism by way of case study. Adopting strength perspective theory, a 16-month direct intervention in social interaction as well as subsequent 3-year follow-up support and observation was conducted on a person with autism, which achieved remarkable success. Conclusion is that social work interventions need to follow the four basic principles of building trust through focusing on advantages, assisting the client to become the master of his life, using the advantages of daily life to assist the client to grow, using community advantages, reducing community barriers, and improving the community environment. The three steps of social work intervention are stimulating the desire of social interaction, improving the ability of social interaction, improving the social interaction environment, and different intervention techniques are used at each step.
