Autism has historically been conceptualised as a predominantly male condition, and as such, autistic people assigned female at birth (AFAB) have been underdiagnosed and under-researched. Until recently, there was a dearth of evidence into how best to support autistic people through common life experiences such as pregnancy, birth and the postnatal period. This article outlines the growing evidence base concerning the experiences of autistic birthing parents and outlines recommendations for adjustments to clinical practice. (Please note: Identity-first ('autistic person') rather than person-first ('person with autism') language is used in line with the preferences of the autistic community. Also, gender neutral terminology (e.g. 'pregnant people') is used throughout to reflect that people of diverse gender identities can become pregnant. This article concerns only birthing parents and does not refer to fathers and other non-birthing parents). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
