Autistic and Expecting: Practical Support for Parents-To-Be and Health and Social Care Practitioners
A practical, solution-focused guide to managing pregnancy, childbirth and the post-natal period for autistic parents and the health and social care practitioners who support them.
Autistic and Expecting is the first book of its kind to be written specifically for autistic parents. The author is an autistic mother who experienced a mental health crisis after a poorly supported pregnancy and childbirth. She voices the experiences of many autistic parents, and addresses the issues that they face collectively and individually.
The book provides a practical, insightful and solution-focused guide to empower autistic parents from pre-conception through to the first few months with their baby. It is sensitively illustrated and provides the information, resources and confidence autistic parents need to advocate for themselves, as well as to develop positive relationships with the professionals involved in their care. It is also a useful resource for health and social care practitioners, detailing how to provide reasonably adjusted care with the best outcomes for autistic people and their babies.
