"Accommodating autism patients"

I’ve written to my GP about high lights and flashing screens in waiting rooms meaning I am disabled by the effect of the light. I was hoping I could wait outside instead be called on my mobile when GP ready, instead I’m told home visits are their answer.

Morning

I called end May in response to their text re annual review due. I mentioned that surgery will not accommodate my sensitivity so house calls are suggested. I was told someone would get back to me with a plan

On the contrary a nurse appeared at my door yesterdays expecting to take bloods, talking about blood pressure. This was so out of the blue I was shocked and basically sent her away. I had given blood the day before up at north Ayr centre so didn’t want more needles also you could request some of it, duplication is pointless.

As an autistic I need processing time not sudden assault which is how it felt, that my safe space was compromised this is not acceptable behaviour. With notice it can be coped with. Please can you learn more about autism and train your staff in this and coordinate better with the rest of records and diagnostics don’t treat me as a training exercise or non thinking being it’s too distressing.
