Our mission is to act as an Autistic-led collective of health professionals and researchers committed to addressing the Autistic community's priorities around the maternity period, with the emancipation of all Autistic people at the heart of all we do. The MARG website will become an accessible and comprehensive resource for the latest high-quality research, information, resources and training relating to pregnancy and maternity for Autistic people. Our objectives include: - to host and signpost to neurodiversity-positive research, resources and evidence-based tools relating to Autistic people, pregnancy and maternity to benefit Autistic people during pregnancy and early parenting - to raise the profile of, and improve understanding, of Autistic people's needs during maternity and how to implement these within the NHS and beyond to signpost Autistic-led training, consultancy and doula services - to provide a research group for Autistic researchers and health professionals to discuss advancing research in the field within social and biopsychosocial models of Autism. We strive to be Neurodiversity-affirming, trustworthy and professional with integrity and inclusivity at the heart of all we do with an intersectional feminist lens. This event aimed to connect us with interested parties, allies and community voices. We share our group's achievements and goals, our resources and research framework, and discuss all things autism and birth.
