Abstract Description
Institution: Liverpool John Moores University - Liverpool, England, United Kingdom
Autistic children experience pain more frequently than their non-autistic peers, yet understanding as to why remains limited. The authors here present a protocol examining how children respond to potentially painful heat and touch (i.e. pin-prick) within a laboratory setting to progress understanding of autistic children’s physical pain experiences. Adaptations to increase inclusivity and accessibility for autistic people have been implemented utilising autistic lived experience from a Public and Patient Involvement panel.
