Planning Parenthood in the Age of Autism: A Research Based Guide

THE GROUND-BREAKING, TIMELY NEW BOOK – WE WISH YOU DIDN’T NEED.

Planning Parenthood in the Age of Autism – A Research Based Guide by Nyema Hermiston RN ND Adv Dip Hom BSc Honshas never been a more relevant, or more valued resource for those who are wishing to start a family than it is today. It provides an overview of autism and discusses the range of identified potential autism risk factors and how parents can utilise this information to benefit their own – and their child’s health.

For parents-to-be, nothing is more important than having a healthy child. This incisive, easy-to-read research-based book offers a wide range of science-based insights plus strategies for parents on how to foster the healthy neurodevelopment of their child.

As a Registered Nurse and Naturopath, Nyema Hermiston has witnessed firsthand the life-changing challenges that parents who have children on the autism spectrum, from mild to severe, experience on a daily basis. While studying for her BSc Hons degree at Middlesex University UK, Nyema Hermiston discovered a surprisingly large body of research citing identified autism risk factors.

These broadly sourced findings, coupled with decades of clinical practice, led Nyema to present this information into a timely and important new book, specifically written to be an easy-to read reference for parents, parents-to-be, educators, health practitioners and carers– including grandparents.

“Filled with useful web and book references, it gives parents-to-be the confidence to make informed decisions and meaningful lifestyle changes. It's an invaluable resource for anyone wanting the best start for their family.” — Dr Stephen Lyon FRACGP, BA-BSc (Hons), MBMS (Hons)

Planning Parenthood in the Age of Autism – A Research Based Guide is a guide for families to optimise the neurodevelopment of their children from pre-conception to toddlerhood. The book also highlights today’s more common environmental toxicities along with scientifically-verified autism risk factors from other sources - all the while offering simple and affordable solutions.
