The family perspective on ASD and sleep disorders – from a healthcare professional and parent perspective
Agenda
Dr Carole Buckley was a GP in Bristol for over 30 years until retirement from clinical practice in 2017. She persuaded the Royal College of General Practitioners to make autism a clinical priority in 2014 and became the clinical champion of the same for the following 3-years. Following that role, she continued to work as the autism representative until 2022, and remains on the RCGP SIG for LD and autism. She works closely with Autistica and is involved in research and teaching on neurodevelopmental conditions. Added to that she has first hand experience as the mother of a 34-year-old who has autism, a severe learning disability, epilepsy and a history of insomnia.
