@MegFoundation @katebirnie @pamelamroach @BCChildrensHosp @KidsInPain @jodythomasphd 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.
@baldgrrl @katebirnie @pamelamroach @BCChildrensHosp @KidsInPain @jodythomasphd 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!
For the latest ep @Dr_Din_Osmun and @jodythomasphd from @MegFoundation discuss practical tips to help kids w/needles. Great timely info for parents & HCPs!#kidshealth #Vaccines #jabapalooza buff.ly/3Bt2GvV @OttawaHealth @CBCKids @KidsInPain @PandemicParent @ChildHealthUSA

So delighted to share this clip of my #MaydayFellows colleague, @jodythomasphd talking about why it's important to get children over fear of needles. How we deal with children's pain affects their development and life-long relationship with healthcare.

@drtaranarula @jodythomasphd Thanks @drtaranarula! You hit the nail on the head: #anxiety should never be in charge of decision making, and right now, the #research says #needlefear it is in charge of WAY too many medical decisions.
