What makes an emergency department autism-friendly—and how do we know whether its changes are helping?
In the final episode, Hamish and Jeremy move from individual encounters to service design. They explore communication options, sensory adjustments, reliable handover and the role of autistic people in shaping care. Alongside the practical challenges of crowded departments and limited resources, they ask how services can measure meaningful improvement and make accessible care dependable across every shift.
