In the midst of the current Covid19 outbreak, many parents are worried, unsure that their autistic child or adult’s needs will be understood or met if it’s necessary to make a trip to hospital. The hospital passport is one way in which to share your autistic loved one’s relevant information. It’s essential to share all necessary medical detail, from underlying conditions, to medication allergies. However, for our autistic family member, it is equally important that medical staff know how sensory processing, communication or even a need for predictability by using a preferred toy or other item impacts upon them.
