Exploring pain in autistic youth: A Q&A with lead researcher, Dr. Katelynn Boerner
Researchers at BC Children’s Hospital and UBC are investigating pain in autistic youth to better understand how pain manifests uniquely for them, aiming to improve treatment and prevention options. By capturing pain data throughout the day and collaborating with autistic researchers and families, the study seeks to address gaps in knowledge, challenge outdated assumptions, and guide more inclusive, autism-informed clinical care.
