Abstract

Autism is a hidden condition, and the barriers to healthcare access faced by autistic people are similarly hidden. Barriers such as communication differences, differences in pain registry and expression and sensory differences are not just present for autistics with high support needs but can have an impact across the autistic spectrum. Here Joanna Grace introduces a series of three articles focusing on why it is important for practitioners to be aware of the impact of neurodivergence on the experience of care in order for these barriers to be overcome.
