Patient-and family-centered care (PFCC) is a partnership among healthcare professionals, patients, and families that is grounded in mutual respect and is an approach that impacts delivery of care, decision-making, and information sharing. PFCC should be implemented for all, including individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), who experience adverse medical encounters despite increased prevalence and healthcare utilization. Insights into the experiences of families during medical experiences can inform clinical practice by increasing healthcare professionals’ understanding of the population. Using a mixed-methods approach, the perspectives of 40 families were analyzed. The themes include barriers and opportunities to improve upon the delivery of PFCC, which help to advance healthcare interactions and inform solution-based initiatives to facilitate medical visits that may benefit all patients.
