Abstract
Neurodivergent (ND) individuals exhibit variations in communication, behaviors, and cognition, which present both opportunities and challenges in healthcare settings. Anesthesiologists can offer personalized and compassionate care to ND patients throughout the surgical process. Yet, often, there is limited knowledge of the specific actions that anesthesiologists can take to build a healthcare environment that fully recognizes and meets the unique needs of ND patients. This document highlights the importance of integrating tailored communication and supportive strategies throughout the distinct stages of perioperative and intraoperative care.
