If you are pregnant and neurodivergent, you may need specific support to ensure you have a positive experience of pregnancy, birth and the journey into parenthood, aligned with key themes including sensory processing, communication, executive functioning and mental health.

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.

Victoria White is a birth and postnatal doula based in Aberdeen, Scotland. She believes women and birthing people have the right to a positive birth and postnatal experience, and that this requires consistent and compassionate support. She is also a trained Traumatic Birth Recovery 3 Step Rewind Practitioner, and Perinatal Emotional Health and Wellbeing Practitioner. Victoria identifies as a neurodivergent person and is a mum of two girls, one of whom is autistic and has ADHD. Her passion for improving support for neurodivergent people perinatally led to the creation of The Neurodivergent Birth Podcast in 2023, and Neurodivergent Birth CIC in 2024.
