Medical Disclaimer

Two Lenses is an educational website.

Articles are written from the combined perspectives of a UK General Practitioner and the parent of an autistic child. Some content discusses published evidence and medical understanding, while other articles describe personal experiences. Where personal experiences are shared, they are presented as individual reflections and should not be interpreted as universally applicable. Every autistic person and every family is different.

The information provided on this website is intended for general educational and informational purposes only.

Nothing published on Two Lenses constitutes medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.

The information provided should never replace consultation with an appropriately qualified healthcare professional who is familiar with your individual circumstances.

Reading this website, subscribing to updates or contacting Two Lenses does not create a doctor-patient relationship.

Although every effort is made to ensure information is accurate and reflects current knowledge at the time of publication, medical evidence and clinical guidance continue to evolve. Information may therefore become outdated over time.

Always seek advice from an appropriately qualified healthcare professional regarding your own health or the health of another individual.

If you believe someone may be at immediate risk of harm or requires urgent medical attention, contact the appropriate emergency services or seek urgent medical advice without delay.

Contacting Two Lenses

Feedback, suggestions and ideas for future articles are always welcome.

However, Two Lenses cannot:

• Provide individual medical advice

• Diagnose medical conditions

• Interpret medical records or investigation results

• Comment on safeguarding concerns relating to identifiable individuals

• Respond to urgent medical enquiries

Messages received through the website should never be relied upon for urgent advice.
