Abstract

Autism is a lifelong neurodevelopmental condition. Autistic people face challenges as patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) and as providers of healthcare in the ICU. This article describes the experience of autistic people using a neurodiversity-affirming approach. Using the ‘Autistic SPACE’ framework, the needs of autistic people are described in terms of sensory needs, need for predictability, need for autistic acceptance, communication differences and how to approach them, and the benefits of a person-centred empathy-based approach to autistic people. The approach to autistic patients is described in terms of reasonable adjustments within a framework of positive risk taking. For supervisors and managers of autistic healthcare professionals, autism-friendly adjustments to training and working practice, with rationales, are suggested.
