When Terri Loughman was diagnosed with high-functioning autism during her twenties, she was told she wouldn't make a good mum.
By the time she'd reached adulthood, Terri had experienced more trauma than most people would in a lifetime, and serious mental health issues had plagued most of her early life.
Her autism means that she finds it difficult to recognise other people's emotions, and doctors feared she wouldn't be able to make a proper connection with a newborn baby.
