Join us for a free online event focused on Autism and the maternity journey, including three Autistic midwives Diane Fox, Karen Henry, Rebecca Warboys, and Dr Aimee Grant.
- Aimee Grant (PhD) How pregnancy might be different if you’re Autistic
- Diane Fox (RM) What to expect at your first maternity appointment
- Karen Henry (RM, MA) Asking for reasonable adjustments
- Rebecca Warboys (RM, IBCLC) New parenting and executive functioning
This is also the official launch of The Autism-Friendly Guide to Pregnancy, Birth and the Fourth Trimester by Dr Aimee Grant.
This groundbreaking new book offers essential, practical, and compassionate support for Autistic people navigating pregnancy, birth, and early parenthood. Drawing on lived experience, research, and expert insight, Dr Grant provides guidance designed to empower Autistic parents-to-be and the professionals who support them.
At this special online launch event, Dr Grant will share the story behind the book, highlight its key themes, and discuss why inclusive resources like this are so urgently needed. She is joined by three brilliant Autistic midwives, Diane Fox, Karen Henry, Rebecca Warboys, who wrote "top tips" in each chapter of the book - they will each give a short presentation. There will also be space for questions, conversation, and celebration.
Whether you are Autistic, a parent, a birth professional, or simply interested in inclusive approaches to pregnancy and parenthood, this event is a chance to come together, connect, and mark the publication of an important new resource.
The event will be hosted online via Zoom. A meeting link will be sent to those who register nearer the event date.
