No one brain is the same: A neurodivergent clinician's approach to caring for the neurodivergent patient in the emergency department

Understanding of neurodiverse conditions for most clinicians is likely limited and based on learnings from formative medical training. Unfortunately, the little neurodivergence content in medical curricula is often developed by neurotypical clinicians with little or no input from neurodiverse individuals. Due to their inclusion in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, neurodivergent conditions may be viewed as psychiatric conditions (autism was once considered a form of childhood schizophrenia) and skew treatment priorities towards those seen in mental health rather than a holistic person-centred approach. This can feed into interventions encouraging conformity in place of understanding and assistance regulating behaviours in question. An alternative approach to the neurodivergent individual is presented in the following paragraphs and while it is not by any means a doctrine for clinicians to abide by; it aims to offer some practical suggestions for ED clinicians.
