Abstract

Individuals with intellectual disability and/or autism spectrum disorder experience healthcare inequalities and have more unmet healthcare needs than the general population. Despite this, there is a sparsity of literature exploring the views of individuals with autism spectrum disorder and/or intellectual disability. This article summarises and evaluates an integrated review that explores the barriers and facilitators those with intellectual disability and/or autism spectrum disorder face when accessing primary healthcare.
