Abstract

In this article, the authors explore the experiences of neurodivergent student midwives, defining neurodiversity and giving a spotlight to neurodivergent voices. In a midwifery climate of high attrition and with a growing number of neurodivergent students entering higher education, this article makes recommendations about how you can better understand, teach and support neurodivergent students in university and clinical placements to make midwifery education more inclusive and sustainable.
