DESCRIPTION:Autistic doctors may have unique insights to offer on autistic
  experience\, autistic wellbeing and healthcare for autistic people. Inclu
 ding a mixture of research data and personal experience\, this presentatio
 n will explore the joys and challenges of being openly autistic in an able
 ist medical profession\, the barriers autistic people experience accessing
  healthcare and one potential solution developed by autistic doctors - the
  Autistic SPACE framework. \n\nInsights from autistic psychiatrists will s
 hine a light on what it means to be autistic\, the challenge of recognisin
 g and sharing one’s autistic identity\, and will point to the pivotal ro
 le of shame in navigating this experience. Being an openly autistic doctor
  brings a tension between appearing “autistic enough” to be taken seri
 ously as autistic and “professional enough” to be taken seriously as a
  doctor\, yet embracing this challenge allows us to leverage our insider p
 erspectives for the benefit of our community and help ensure that autistic
  kids can grow up confidently autistic rather than steeped in shame.\n
