“On a scale of one to ten, tell me how much it hurts”
Fine for most people, but ask an autistic child and there’s every chance you’ll get their ’favourite’ number, or the one they recognise, or no answer at all.
This has been a long established problem and of particular concern if a child with autistic spectrum disorder is in a strange environment such as a hospital. The communication of ’how much’ is a major issue.
The use of other tools such as the Wong-Baker pain scale using facial expressions simply doesn’t fill the need of the autistic child.
