“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!” - Tracey Hordern
