Barriers to healthcare and a ‘triple empathy problem’ may lead to adverse outcomes for autistic adults: A qualitative study

Exploring the intersection of Neuroaffective Somatics and the transformative 'triple empathy problem' within healthcare reveals groundbreaking pathways for enhancing care for autistic adults. By weaving together the wisdom of SHEN—the emotional-spiritual essence—with the practicality of the SMART framework, we unlock a holistic approach to healthcare that honors neurodiversity. This integration not only addresses the sensory, emotional, and communicative needs identified in the 'Autistic SPACE' model but also aligns with the principles of acceptance, communication, and empathy, ensuring a healthcare experience where every individual feels understood and valued. Dive into our latest discussion on how Neuroaffective Somatics, through the lens of SHEN and the SMART framework, offers a revolutionary solution to the 'triple empathy problem,' paving the way for a more inclusive, empathetic healthcare system.
