Supporting Autistic Parents During the Perinatal Period from a Neurodivergent Affirming Lens Webinar

Date: Wednesday, May 8, 2024

Time: 10am-11:30am PST

Cost: FREE

Location: Zoom

Presenter: Jane Kosloff, LICSW, PMH-C

With the increasing knowledge available around the range of autistic experiences, more adults have been learning that they are autistic in recent years. Most support strategies for people in pregnancy and early parenthood have been designed with neurotypical (non neurodivergent) parents in mind, which makes it harder to find neuro-inclusive support at a pivotal phase of life.

This webinar focuses on the lived experiences of autistic individuals in pregnancy and early parenthood. By building a better understanding of the needs of autistic parents, perinatal professionals will be better prepared to offer care that’s more inclusive and supportive.
