As most nurses, healthcare assistants, and other healthcare professionals will engage with autistic patients or service users at numerous points in their careers, the Health and Care Act 2022 requires healthcare professionals to be given autism training appropriate to their role. There is an urgent need for a publication which directly addresses this new training requirement and fulfills the learning needs of workers across the healthcare sector and beyond. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAutism in Nursing and Healthcare\u003c\/i\u003e offers a solid grounding in the issues relevant to the care and support of autistic people.
