About the Author – Pregnancy Guide: Reducing the Risk of Autism
I am Janine Santora, a registered nurse with over 25 years of experience supporting individuals with autism. Motivated by my daughter’s journey toward motherhood and the rising prevalence of autism, I dedicated myself to investigating how environmental factors impact prenatal health. This passion led me to write the “Pregnancy Guide: Reducing the Risk of Autism,” a comprehensive resource designed to bridge the gap between complex science and daily life. My goal is to empower families with actionable, evidence-based steps to minimize toxin exposure and protect neurodevelopment before, during, and after pregnancy.
I believe in a gentle, proactive approach to motherhood. By applying evidence-based steps to lower environmental risks before, during, and after birth, we can create a safer sanctuary for neurodevelopment and significantly reduce the risk of autism for every child.
