Why Neurodivergent Birth Matters
About this ebook
These support needs are currently poorly understood in perinatal healthcare settings. Why Neurodivergent Birth Matters aims to promote awareness and understanding of neurodivergent perinatal experiences, and to offer practical suggestions to improve perinatal care. It is both a guide for birth professionals, and a validating and compassionate companion for neurodivergent parents-to-be and new families.
