Jana Buhlmann Dr. Katie Birnie Pam Roach BC Children's Hospital Solutions for Kids in Pain Jody Thomas Honestly, it's game changing...for her & her providers. Hopefully it helps her understand herself that much better, and protect her from the shaming that can happen, esp as kids get older. Kids with ASD often process pain differently. And it can be managed if people understand!

The Meg Foundation Dr. Katie Birnie Pam Roach BC Children's Hospital Solutions for Kids in Pain Jody Thomas It amazes me how few do, and how much trauma can result. I’ve had techs at labs offer to hold her arm down. I’ve stopped them and given her space to manage her own process, but of course the whole time you know you are not in a space that truly supports or understands that.
