The needs of children with autism spectrum condition (ASC) in paediatric emergency departments (EDs) can often be overlooked. EDs are high-stress environments for children with ASC, which can result in meltdowns, making the diagnostic process challenging. There should be provision for children with ASC, who can have sensory, behavioural and communication needs, in the same way that analgesia is provided for children in pain. This article promotes a multi-strategy approach to making reasonable adjustments to help meet the needs of these children and provide them with a positive hospital experience.
自闭症谱系障碍（ASC）儿童在儿科急诊科（EDs）的需求常常被忽视。急诊科对患有ASC的儿童来说是压力很大的环境，这可能导致情绪崩溃，使诊断过程具有挑战性。应该为有感官、行为和沟通需求的ASC儿童提供相应措施，就像为疼痛的儿童提供镇痛一样。本文倡导一种多策略方法，进行合理调整以帮助满足这些儿童的需求，并为他们提供积极的就医体验。
