This comprehensive guide is for birthing and health professionals looking to improve their maternity care for autistic people. With a lack of scientifically approached work in this area, this intersectional book covers the background of modern birth practices and autism as a diagnosis, and considers the impact of cultural differences, underdiagnosis, stigma, and stereotypes amongst ethnic minorities. It discusses how pain functions in the autistic brain as well as co-occurring conditions such as alexithymia, chronic pain, epilepsy and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. This guide offers invaluable birthing insight, approaches for sensation management during birth, insider knowledge on midwifery protocols and accessible tools for autistic pregnant people and families to use.
