Accessible healthcare
Appointments can be easier with written information, first-or-last slots, reduced waiting, sensory adjustments and a clear explanation of what will happen.
Rest and regulation
Autistic rest may include solitude, movement, deep interests, familiar routines or reduced sensory input. Recovery is a need, not a reward.
Mental health matters
Anxiety, depression and burnout require compassionate, autism-informed support. In urgent danger, use emergency services; for ongoing concerns, speak to a GP.
