If you have ever worked with an autistic person and wondered how to better support that person, welcome!
If you have ever felt daunted about how best to support autistic people within health care environments, welcome!

- Autistic statistics
- Autistic language explained
- Autism and mental health
- Autism and physical health
- Reasonable adjustments within health care environments: the autistic as patient or service user
