Abstract
About this talk
Her abstract will be about autistic individuals in hospital & how they respond to medical care. The topics that she will be discussing in her presentation are: Dealing with medical staff Blood Tests & XRays/CT scans Lights and sound issues, Being on a ward & Autism & TV Choices. Now most people hate being in a hospital let alone digest the news or information about our medical issues, but having to cope with the beep beeps of the monitors for the patients in an ED ward is overwhelming for the person with autism spectrum disorder. She also will be talking about her own experiences When she has been in a ward or hospital, she has been well looked after by the nursing staff. Most individuals would not cope with the noise, the lights/sounds/sensory overloads when it comes to being dealt with by medical staff.
