The Problem With Healthcare Professionals

Autistic Storytime With David 18 Dec 2025

Listen · 4 MIN

This episode is an exploration of my experiences with healthcare professionals, and the experiences of the countless Autistic people I have met and worked with. I explore the impact of Doctors and Nurses not validating Autistic pain and illness, and acknowledge how this might contribute to early mortality in Autistic people.
