Understand the healthcare needs of autistic patients with this essential volume

Autism is a condition that directly affects as many as 2 million people in the United Kingdom, a figure which does not include family members and other loved ones. As most nurses, healthcare assistants, and other healthcare professionals will engage with autistic patients or service users at numerous points in their careers, the Health and Care Act 2022 requires healthcare professionals to be given autism training appropriate to their role. There is an urgent need for a publication which directly addresses this new training requirement and fulfills the learning needs of workers across the healthcare sector and beyond.

Autism in Nursing and Healthcare offers a solid grounding in the issues relevant to the care and support of autistic people. Viewing autism as a lifelong condition, this book offers chapters covering the full lifespan of the autistic person, with information on the role of nurses in both community and hospital settings. Appropriate for both formal and informal carers, it's an indispensable resource for anyone with direct or indirect experience of autism.



Chapters on welfare benefits, sexuality, and discrimination against autistic people
Detailed discussion of the 2009 Autism Act and related strategies
Practical intervention strategies throughout

Autism in Nursing and Healthcare is ideal for pre-registration nursing students from all four nursing branches, those in post-registration professional development sessions, Nursing Associates and Healthcare Assistants, as well as those who work with autistic people (either as patients or colleagues) looking to better understand autism.
