  • This explains so much

    I came to understand my neuro-spicy child but found a space to understand myself and was diagnosed myself. It breaks the myths, the heartbreaks and challenges neurodivergence can face. Highly recommend for parents, carers, family & educators.

    Very grateful to have come across this podcast
