Giving birth can be a challenging experience for Autistic parents for a number of reasons. Here we will share resources which aim to give Autistic people support and knowledge that will positively impact their experience of birth.
Autistic Parents UK have collaborated with Dr. Aimee Grant from Swansea University, Autistic UK, MARG, Autistic Doctors UK and a truly remarkable group of Autistic parents and professionals on the "Autistic Pregnancy Birth and Beyond: Your Questions Answered" project.
Together, we have produced over 100 insightful videos for Autistic parents and parents-to-be. These videos are available on our project page and on Dr Aimee Grant's Youtube channel.
Alexis Quinn is an Autistic parent who experienced a mental health crisis due to a lack of support during her pregnancy, birth and early parenthood. In her book Autistic and Expecting, Alexis writes about her experience and the experiences of other Autistic parents. The book offers insight and practical support to Autistic parents and those who support them.
Alexis has kindly allowed us to share the Maternity Passport she created and shares in her book. There are two versions of the passport (one with fewer images) and a downloadable sheet of icons to use within the passport. The downloads are available below.
