Dr Mary Doherty, anesth\u00e9siste et professeure associ\u00e9e clinique \u00e0 la facult\u00e9 de m\u00e9decine de l\u2019University College Dublin (Irlande), va recevoir fin juillet la British Citizen Award (BCA) Medal of Honour for Services to Healthcare lors d\u2019une c\u00e9r\u00e9monie au palais de Westminster, \u00e0 Londres, le 23 juillet 2025. Cette distinction, attribu\u00e9e par un comit\u00e9 britannique, r\u00e9compense des personnes consid\u00e9r\u00e9es comme \u0153uvrant de mani\u00e8re d\u00e9sint\u00e9ress\u00e9e pour am\u00e9liorer la soci\u00e9t\u00e9.<\/p>\n
Dr Doherty, diagnostiqu\u00e9e autiste il y a plus de dix ans et m\u00e8re de deux jeunes personnes neurodivergentes, a fond\u00e9 en 2019 l\u2019organisation Autistic Doctors International, qui regroupe aujourd\u2019hui plus de 1 500 m\u00e9decins autistes. Cette organisation assure des fonctions de soutien entre pairs, de plaidoyer, de recherche et de formation sur l\u2019autisme dans le champ m\u00e9dical. Elle illustre la structuration d\u2019un r\u00e9seau international de professionnels de sant\u00e9 autistes, susceptible d\u2019influencer les pratiques et les politiques de sant\u00e9 en mati\u00e8re de handicap et de neurodiversit\u00e9.<\/p>\n
Sur le plan scientifique, Dr Doherty a si\u00e9g\u00e9 au comit\u00e9 scientifique du congr\u00e8s international 2025 d\u2019Autism-Europe, organisation europ\u00e9enne active dans le champ de l\u2019autisme, et y a pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 \u00e0 deux reprises ses travaux lors de l\u2019\u00e9dition pr\u00e9c\u00e9dente. Sa recherche porte sur l\u2019autisme et les syst\u00e8mes de sant\u00e9, en particulier l\u2019acc\u00e8s aux soins des personnes autistes et la situation des professionnels de sant\u00e9 autistes. Sa th\u00e8se de doctorat, intitul\u00e9e \u00ab Autistic doctors: leveraging insider perspectives to improve healthcare for autistic people \u00bb, met en avant l\u2019apport des perspectives de m\u00e9decins autistes pour am\u00e9liorer la prise en charge des patients autistes. Elle collabore r\u00e9guli\u00e8rement avec Autism-Europe, notamment dans le cadre de sessions de partage de bonnes pratiques.<\/p>\n
Dans un entretien \u00e0 la radio nationale irlandaise RTE, Dr Doherty a soulign\u00e9 que ce prix met en lumi\u00e8re un travail habituellement peu visible et contribue \u00e0 la reconnaissance de la place et de l\u2019utilit\u00e9 sociale des personnes autistes. Ces \u00e9l\u00e9ments sont susceptibles d\u2019int\u00e9resser le suivi des politiques publiques relatives \u00e0 l\u2019inclusion des personnes autistes et neurodivergentes dans les professions de sant\u00e9, \u00e0 la prise en compte de leurs besoins sp\u00e9cifiques et \u00e0 la valorisation de leur expertise dans l\u2019\u00e9laboration et l\u2019\u00e9valuation des dispositifs de soins.
