And my own anecdotal evidence as a parent of an autistic child - the over reliance of phone access to book appointments or access helplines is a barrier too.

I’m not autistic but based on research I’ve read specifically about experiences of autistic women in pregnancy health care, barriers include intense sensory input in clinical environments, lack of accessible info and misunderstood social interactions leading to poor care from HCPs

Curious about OT work in different settings, being inspired, peer support and challenge #OTChat
