This is the first book of its kind specifically written for parents with autism, while also providing essential reading for healthcare and social care professionals, enabling them to deliver tailored support with the best outcomes for individuals with autism and their babies.

Written by an autistic mother who experienced a mental health crisis after an inadequately supported pregnancy and childbirth, this book gives voice to the experiences of many autistic parents to address the issues they face both collectively and individually.

The result is a practical, insightful, and solution-oriented guide that encourages autistic parents from pregnancy preparation to the first months with their baby, as well as healthcare and social care professionals who have the duty to provide support and meet their needs during these critical moments.

This sensitively illustrated book provides the information, resources, and confidence that autistic parents need to advocate for themselves and to develop positive relationships with the professionals involved in their care.
