What Are Some Challenges Nurses Face When Caring for Patients with ASD?
Caring for individuals with ASD can present several challenges, including:
Communication Barriers: Difficulty in understanding and interpreting the needs of non-verbal patients. Behavioral Issues: Managing aggressive or self-harming behaviors can be challenging. Sensory Sensitivities: Patients with ASD may have heightened sensitivities to light, sound, or touch, which can complicate care.
