We regularly have to visit doctors with our son who has autism and also need to visit A&E often. Our experience of A&E has mostly been negative with even the better visits, where we encounter kindness, being marred by ignorance, lack of empathy or long waiting times In inappropriate surroundings. Do many people have this experience? I would be intrested to know what kinds of experiences people have.
I have also started a petition to try to start change in this area. If you have time could you please sign this and share it with your friends?
