Peaceful, pain free and dignified : palliative and end of life care for people on the autism spectrum : a guide for social care practitioners - Birmingham BILD Publications 2015

This book tells the poignant story of Stephane's care during the final three years of his life and how the staff who supported him, the medical team, his family and friends worked together to care for him both in life and death. This practice guide explains sensitively how Stephane's physical, psychological, social and spiritual needs were met, taking into account the impact of his autism on his understanding and response to his cancer. The authors share their learning in this book so that other teams can deliver peaceful, pain free and dignified end of life care to individuals with autism.
