Reasonable adjustments for autistic individuals
Dear Northern Health and Social Care Trust (Northern Ireland),
I am writing to ask what provisions or policies are in place in local hospitals and services regarding reasonable adjustments for individuals with autism?
For example, how are autistic individuals accommodated if they have to attend A&E or are admitted for further tests/treatments, to avoid distress stemming from sensory sensitivity, unfamiliar people on wards etc?
Yours faithfully,
Ms. Crawford
