Abstract
Managing surgical care for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) demands tailored strategies addressing unique behavioral, sensory, and communication challenges. Preoperative preparation includes individualized care plans, familiarization with hospital environments, alternative communication methods, and caregiver collaboration. Intraoperative strategies focus on minimizing invasive devices and adapting anesthesia protocols to reduce distress. Postoperative care emphasizes effective pain management, sensory modifications, and caregiver involvement to support recovery. By fostering empathy and understanding among healthcare providers, these approaches enhance surgical outcomes, reduce anxiety, and improve care quality for patients with ASD. This multidisciplinary framework addresses gaps in current practices, ensuring a patient-centered, empathetic approach to perioperative care.
