Pier Jaarsma

Associate Professor

My research focuses on the ethics of prioritization in the context of autism.

Presentation

The allocation of healthcare resources for Autism Spectrum Disorder is an ethical quandary that requires careful consideration. Care ethics calls for a balanced approach that considers empathy, responsibility and the particular needs of individuals, families and communities affected by these decisions.

Research

The ethical considerations surrounding Autism Spectrum Disorder in healthcare policy and practice are multifaceted. They involve discussions about the nature of the condition, whether it should be considered a distinct medical condition or a variation of neurological diversity, and how best to support those who have been diagnosed. Ethical discussions also extend to the rights of individuals with autism in making decisions about their care, the supportive roles played by families and healthcare professionals, and the shared responsibility to create an inclusive environment that meets the needs of individuals with autism.
