How to treat The World

- July 03, 2020

Consider this to be more like a follow-up to my previous blog post, “The Asperger’s Academy”. I think that we’ve all experienced fear, real fear, at some point in our lives. Some of those fears might be related to accidents, death, disease or even going to the dentist! However, I’ve noticed, though my own experience and observation that some people struggle, a lot more than others, with the idea of having to take part in any sort of medical procedure, it doesn't matter if you’re autistic or not. This is especially true in today's world, with the pandemic still raging on.

Well no need to worry no more, for A wise man has stepped forward and once said:

We humans have entered a new chapter in the story of life, for we’ve entered the 2020s, an era in which doctors are finding new (hopefully) painless ways to treat different conditions or accident related injuries. However, this is not enough, knowing how to cure something doesn't mean that these situations are easy to handle. As you might know I, Ethan Stranger, am a person who has Asperger’s and I believe that medical situations are very difficult to handle for neurodiverse people. This means that all doctors, nurses and medical professionals need to have a broader understanding of what we might be going through in order to help calm the person and convince them to do the right thing (medically-speaking).

Words can be particularly powerful in these situations, just remember this encouraging sentence…

But even so, doctors & nurses must remember that attending to an autistic patient is extremely difficult (especially for those with a lower level of Autism) as they’re either extremely afraid to go through a procedure or they (or their parents) know that this surgery could actually be more risky than whatever it is they’re scared of. They cry and beg to their parents to save them from this nightmare, but they can’t…

Everyday we ask ourselves (Especially Parents with Autistic Children): “What can doctors say? Do? Think? in order to help people with autism face difficult medical procedures?”

Well I, Ethan Stranger, would like to encourage all Doctors & Nurses to unite as one to find new methods & techniques to help all autistic patients (children and adults alike), without going through surgery (hopefully by the end of the 2020s). There’s always a way to tend to those with disabilities. They’re people that deserve medical care, but they need doctors & nurses that understand that they’re not like everybody else. They have difficulty in cooperating with procedures and that they deserve to be treated better and handled with care. As humans, we must always do what’s best, what’s right if we’re to work for a better tomorrow, Today, right? Are you with me?
