Why do we talk to unconscious patients?
1. Respect
2. Humanize care
3. Comfort
4. Hearing may be preserved
5. Assuage fears
6. Keep them informed of what’s happening
7. Warn them when touched for the purposes of care
Patients are always people.

ALT Most autistic people prefer to be called autistic using identity first language, IFL This was confirmed by the largest autism survey, published in 2022 It is recommended by NICE, Health Education England, and Autism Journal to use this Identity First language. However, it is still a personal choice Not all people use verbal language to communicate
Wonderful session on community engagement at #gatcon! Loved learning about @OnceUponAGene - an engaging podcast for families of children with rare syndromes, & “beads of courage” - providing a bead for every blood draw, poke, medical session. @gatlinburgcon @uclachildneuro
Love seeing inclusive play spaces as I land for the @gatlinburgcon - wonderful work by @VarietyKC and @Fly_KansasCity ! @uclachildneuro @UCLANeurology

This week we hosted the inaugural #ASXL Clinical Research Roundtable, a quarterly virtual meeting for clinician-scientists. Thank you to @natashanludwig (@KennedyKrieger) for facilitating this meeting to advance #bohringopitz #shashipena and #bainbridgeropers research and care.
When you’re weekend discharging a toddler with new seizures & no prior auth, & are told that rectal diazepam (the safety med to stop prolonged seizures) costs $700+ in a dose safe for children (10mg), but only $40 for the adult dosing (20mg). We need to change the system
Here is the very last of the puppet-driven #medsongs videos.
"Prior Auth"
A parody of 'Firework', with apologies to Katy Perry... but no other apologies.
I tried to trim this one to fit the Twitter constraints, but it needed a second verse. See 2/🧵for YouTube link.

Inspired by the amazing work and collaboration from clinicians, industry, academic researchers, & most of all, families. Honored to have been a part of the @angelman Syndrome Foundation / @dup15q re-United conference @ShafaliJeste @vvf_vanessa #Austin

Surveys suggest that there remain wide gaps in medical education around caring for individuals who are neurodivergent, with a disability, or have a chronic illness

Nearly 20% of #children in the US have special #healthcare needs, and they often experience disparities in #health outcomes. This article by Dr. Maya Ayoub @mayacayoub reviews barriers to and facilitators of primary pediatric care for children.

Why are children with disabilities under-represented in medical research, and what strategies can facilitate best practices in primary #pediatrics offices? @mayacayoub @juliannarava @ashleylewishunt @alicekuo #healthequity #neurodiversity
