#1 This is not an episode on bad parenting or bad children, its an episode why we feel like bad parents and why our autistic and/or adhd and/or neurodiverse children are often made to feel this way. How us parents wish someone could come into our homes and simply observe and offer helpful advice on how to make getting through each 24 hr cycle easier + have someone who actually can witness and believe us and our children. Why its a challenge every single day and what a quick run through of 24 hours in the home is like.

#1 Food wars vs food relationships and the battle with their sensory systems that are constantly changing. There is so much more going on than just the food. It's different to the neuro-typical journey of fussy or picky eaters. My own experiences and advice from having raising a now 20 yr old son who is adhd plus my youngest Henry who is on speaking, autistic and adhd, age 12. They do grow and develop and their eating habits, relationships with food and mealtimes do get better. Look to professionals (nutritionists, dietitians etc)who are autistic themselves and/or actually live the autism journey as parents for the right advice e.g Yaffi Lvova.

#1 The message as per an original unisex 'Autism Threads' slogan T-shirt is "NO APOLOGY". Autism is part of who our children at any age, are.

An introduction to Elizabeth Vossellor, Founder of S2C that is 'Spelling to Communicate', a film recommendation called "The reason I Jump" and what 'no apology' translates to for all of us on any given day.

It feels though no-one is there for ht parent to acknowledge, believe and support just how it is to get through each day, beginning to end, and the next and the next, especially when a child is dysregulated and/or unhappy.

#1 Parenthood, for all of us, from the moment you fall pregnant and finish classes on how to actually have a baby, has no manual, you have to just figure it out, from teething all the way through school, puberty young adults the works. Having a neurodiverse/autistic/sen/disabled child adds a whole other layer of intensity and concern. As a SEN parent it is isolating, confidence sapping and so draining just simply trying to sift through, process and follow advice and systems you are forced into versus staying focused on the child, plus then having to prove their needs in order to get the help they deserve. Parents should not underestimate what they are going through nor assume they should indeed be coping and/or their child does not warrant the support they seek simply because it is not forthcoming or they are being told no.

Choosing humour over distress or anxiety or embarrassment and laughing not at our child but celebrating the joy of who he is and how genuinely unique, hilarious, sometimes downright weird some of the things he does and says are.

Looking at the advice on cognition, behaviour parents have been given/told to do from the top down to the more current learning from the bottom up, that is from autistic people themselves and the knowledge the their struggles are often moor based and not having full control of their bodies.

#1 This podcast is not about telling anyone what they should or shouldn't do, what is or isn't right & bombarding you who information leaving you feeling deflated, tired, not good enough. This podcast does not provide any answers it's a just a conversation with a friend on the sofa with a coffee in hand, someone who knows what you are living & does not judge. Something to resonate with and feel less isolated about. Needless to say, there are no straight answers about when or how or even if re telling your child they are autistic. Accepting autism in a child goes hand in hand with finding the right school so there is advice on how to approach school visits and why they are so important.
