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.

 

About the Author:

Nyema Hermiston is health practitioner, researcher and author with decades of experience in both the practical and academic healthcare space. Holding a Bachelor of Science Honours degree (2021), as well as being a registered Nurse (RN) with an Advanced Diploma of Homeopathy and a Diploma of Naturopathy, Nyema is dedicated to sharing her evidence-based research and practical knowledge with the growing number of people who are interested in learning how to take charge of their own and their family’s health and wellbeing.

While researching for her Science degree, Nyema’s study focussed on the exponentially growing number of children being diagnosed with Autism. Not content with the typical medical advice – that there is nothing that can prevent, or be done for the many families facing the consequences of a lifetime of caring for a child with Autism, Nyema has dedicated the last four years meticulously researching and collating the latest, science-backed evidence to the contrary.

 

Nyema Hermiston’s other published titles include Good News for People with Bad News – Recovery Stories Everyone Must Know About, Treat Your Child Yourself – A Parent’s Guide to Drug-Free Solutions for Common Complaints, (co-written with Jon Gamble) and Treat Your Child’s Ear Infections Yourself.

Groundbreaking

This is the first easy to read book I have found where all the research on causes of autism has been found and gathered in one place. Clearly this was a gigantic project. Hats off to the author - I wish I had read this years ago.

Nothing is more important than having a healthy child – and in this age of rising autism rates, this new book offers some much-needed hope!

Most of us realise all too well that autism rates are rising world-wide. Until this book, what wasn't understood is that there are many contributing factors that underly these rising rates – and that far from there being nothing that can be done – there are in fact, many easy, actionable things that parents CAN do to ensure the healthy neurodevelopment of their child. Based on a mountain of verifiable research, Nyema Hermiston's latest book is both easy to read and equally important, it is written with compassion that comes from decades of working in the healthcare space. It is not an exaggeration to say that 'Planning Parenthood in the Age of Autism – A Research-Based Guide' offers much-needed hope to all parents-to-be and their extended families and friends, as well as the wider community. If you are contemplating parenthood, or someone you love is, this ground-breaking new book is a must. I cannot recommend this book more highly!
