Cancer and Autism

Hi All, new here! Can I ask does anyone know of any specific support for people with autism who have been diagnosed with cancer? I'm trying to find out about counselling, support and perhaps some advocacy?

Hi and welcome to the community.

There's some good advice - including signposting to other resources - here:

Macmillan Cancer Support - Neurodiversity and cancer: getting information and support

You / the person requiring support might also find it helpful to download and use the My Health Passport, which was designed in collaboration with the NAS in order to help autistic people to communicate their needs to health professionals involved in their hospital treatment:
