A shameful part of my past, no longer relevant to a senior doctor, or so I would like to think. And yet the reality is different. Some 2 years on, tears threaten when I recall what happened. It would be so much easier to stay silent or to forget, but I cannot. Since receiving my autism diagnosis in 2013, I have been active in autism research and advocacy, and am committed to improving autism awareness in medicine. I lead a large community of autistic doctors and our insider perspectives have the potential to transform autistic health care.
