S3 Ep2: Autistic Birth Preparation with Vanessa D'Souza aka The Autistic Chef
Today I chat with Vanessa D'Souza. Vanessa was a BBC Masterchef UK semi-finalist and is known as The Austitic Chef on social media. She is currently pregnant with her first child, and in this episode she shares her autistic experience of preparing for birth including navigating appointments, changing hospitals, finding a doula and much more. It’s a great conversation and I’m so grateful to her for sharing her story with us.
