Among the variety of people referred\, are parents experiencing low mood or being on-edge with the changes related to bringing a new baby into the world. Occupational Therapists are also trained in neuroscience and have health models to encompass a broad range of knowledge. I found that this makes it easier to consider the effects of late diagnosed neurodevelopment conditions on mental well-being and find methods and approaches that clients respond to. \nHannah Cleaver-Marshall BSocSci \nAs a (late-diagnosed) AuDHD woman\, raising Neurodivergent children (combinations of ADHD\, ASD\, Dyslexia\, Dysgraphia\, APD) I am deeply passionate about accessibility of knowledge\, support and advocacy. The transition into motherhood is never simple\, but for me\, the perinatal journey was especially intense. I am a mother of five (I gave birth to four of my children)\, and while I look back with love on those early years\, I also remember the enormous challenges I faced\, challenges that I didn’t fully understand at the time. These experiences are what sparked my deep interest in perinatal neurodiversity. \nI completed my BSocSci (Psychology & Sociology) as a young single mother I entered the workforce at the Ministry of Social Development\, after several other roles and gaining a Diploma in Health Science (Naturopathy)\, now in my mid 30s I have decided to enter back into postgraduate study. I am currently completing my PGDipArts (Psychology) at Massey\, I will be begin my masters thesis in 2026 titled ‘Motherhood and Neurodiversity: Exploring the Role of Diagnosis and Knowledge in Shaping the Experiences of Mothers with ADHD and ASD’.
