Parenting with neurodivergence: Supporting your mental health
By PANDA (Perinatal Anxiety and Depression Australia)
Many parents go through profound changes during the transition to parenthood.
While experiences may be similar, some aspects of pregnancy, birth, and early parenting can feel more intense for people who are neurodivergent.
People with autism and/or attention deficit hyperactive disorder (ADHD) can face unique challenges due to different ways of processing and functioning, as well as healthcare services that don’t meet neurodivergent needs.
PANDA provide some advice to support your mental health as a parent with neurodivergence and make this transition a little smoother.
