      abstract = {With 1 in 44 people now being diagnosed as autistic, there  is a view that clinical environments should be autistic  friendly. However, despite this expectation, medical and  dental students are rarely taught how they can make their  future clinical workplaces comfortable for autistic  patients. Similarly, allied health professional, such as  occupational therapists and psychologists, are also not  taught this information. Due to this lack of knowledge,  each day countless autistics and their families are exposed  to potentially stressful clinical situations that can  jeopardise the delivery of effective treatment. To help  mitigate this situation, this book will give university  students as well as established healthcare professionals an  understanding of how they can assist autistic patients in  clinical settings. This book is more than just providing  strategies that aspiring and established healthcare  professionals can use to make their clinical workplaces  more accommodating for autistics and their families. It  will also present a synopsis of the literature about the  challenges and experiences that autistic patients have had  in dental and medical settings. Such information can  provide the reader with a greater understanding about what  it is like to be autistic and receive medical and/or dental  treatment. This synopsis will also illustrate the current  gaps in our knowledge about this topic.},
