  • The guests are put 1st

    1st off Emily has a fantastic voice. She always makes her guests the star of the show and is happy to sit back and asks the right questions. I was very late diagnosed as being Austistic(48), but I am learning all the time. This podcast is central to all of that.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 111: Special Guest, Samantha Morgan (Founder, campaigner, impact and inclusion consultant)
Q: What motivated your Not Everybody Drinks campaign and how has the response shaped your work?
The campaign grew from experiences with recovery, safeguarding concerns, and a belief that alcohol should be opt-in, not assumed. The response—from media, charities, and policy groups—has driven campaigns, training development, and broader organizational engagement.
Episode 111: Special Guest, Samantha Morgan (Founder, campaigner, impact and inclusion consultant)
Q: How did you come to realise you were autistic and ADHD, and how did that affect your life?
Samantha describes a late diagnosis in her early 30s following years of struggle, addiction, and misdiagnosis. Recognising the conditions empowered her to pursue advocacy, education reform, and better support for others facing similar barriers.
Episode 108: Special Guest, Nathan Dunne (Author, Journalist and Critic)
Q: How did writing the book affect your symptoms?
The process intensified symptoms but also provided a structured way to contextualize and share the experience, ultimately helping others while expanding public understanding.
Episode 104: Special Guest, Lauren Melissa Ellzey (@autienelle)
Q: And how do you make time to be an advocate as well as all of these other things?
I focus my advocacy work around topics that are meaningful to me, seeking balance between my writing and personal interests.
Episode 104: Special Guest, Lauren Melissa Ellzey (@autienelle)
Q: So how did you from that first draft get to the publishing of the book?
After writing Boy At The Window, I initially had no drive to publish it but my friends encouraged me to pursue it, leading to a submission to Boldstroke's books where my manuscript was accepted.
