  • Meet Bronwyn Rideout and Amy Taylor, two neurodivergent midwives who will be your hosts for this limited podcast series about pregnancy, birth, and early parenting through the lens of Autism / Takiwatanga and ADHD / Aroreretini. In this episode, we talk about neurodiversity and what it means to be neurodivergent; intersectionality; and who is missing out on getting diagnosed.
