Saved resources
It is one year since we launched the Aspect Autistic Pregnancy and Parenthood Hub. In that time, the Hub has evolved into the largest online collection of autism-related perinatal resources, accessed by thousands of Autistic parents and expectant parents, and health professionals.
What's new
We've collaborated with the Autistic and perinatal care communities to add resources to make the Hub more comprehensive, inclusive and accessible:
Resources written by Autistic fathers for Autistic fathers
- Autistic father's guide to pregnancy and birth
- Preparing for fatherhood
- Life as an Autistic father
- Autistic fatherhood
Webinar and podcasts
- ARCAP Webinar – Towards inclusive perinatal care for Autistic parents
- Podcast – Pregnancy and early parenthood
- Podcast – Autistic motherhood
New resources for perinatal professionals
- Tips for professionals on supporting Autistic fathers during their partner's perinatal journey
- Podcast – How occupational therapy can help neurodivergent mothers
- Caesarean delivery guide
New research
We've added more research papers including Easy Read summaries.
Training for professionals
The Hub includes three free training modules designed for a wide range of professionals, including midwives, nurses, GPs, obstetricians, allied health practitioners, mental health professionals and others working in perinatal care settings.
Anyone can access the modules directly from their own device. Contact ARCAP to find out about integrating these modules in your organisation's learning and development system.
We also provide customised training for health professionals who are keen to ensure they deliver neuroaffirming care. If you'd like to know more about training options, please contact us.
Help us grow the Hub
We aim to continue expanding the hub through collaboration with researchers and practitioners in the field. If you have developed a resource, tool or research output that would be valuable to include, we invite you to contact us to discuss potential inclusion.
