In this episode of Autism Help, Heather McKay explores the often-overlooked connection between autism and incontinence, and the challenges many autistic people face in accessing understanding and appropriate support.

Heather discusses the discrimination experienced by autistic people with co-occurring incontinence, why these difficulties can occur, and what individuals, families, and carers can do to better support those affected. This episode shines a light on a topic that is rarely talked about but has a significant impact on quality of life.
