Autistic experiences of post natal support research
Liverpool University are looking to explore the postnatal experiences of autistic people who have given birth.
This project aims to explore the experiences of Autistic birth givers and maternity staff who support them in seeking and offering postnatal support. It will look at the similarities and differences in perspectives of what support is currently available and helpful, whether there are any barriers to accessing support, and the impact of this.
