Overview History Discussion
Co-created by Paula Holmes-Rodman, PhD and Lindsey Holmes, ovarian cancer survivor, and an adult with autism, with input from the autism community.

If you identify as autistic, or as a person with autism, or as someone on the autism spectrum, you might need some support with sensory or communication issues as you navigate cancer. We have assembled a patient self-advocacy guide that could help you and your support people think about how to:

  • Access the best healthcare possible
  • Have effective conversations with your healthcare team
  • Reduce your stress
