  • Beautiful

    This is beautiful to see the perspective of the father for the kiddo that is on spectrum…as professional that work with individuals with disabilities as a Recreational Therapist you do not see how the life of kiddo/adult of someone on spectrum and even any disability effects the parent is lovely to hear.

  • The autism podcast you’ve been looking for.

    As a SEN parent this is such a relatable listen. Informative, light-hearted and at times, so joyous. You guys have done such a great job and I want to thank you for all your hard work. It’s so important to let parents know they’re not alone and that going forward it’s going to take strength in numbers (as a united community) to silence the doubters and naysayers, to get what our children need and deserve.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#40 | Toilet training, Autism & Gut Health.
Q: What is the role of rewards in toilet training for autistic children?
Rewards alone are not enough; behavior-based approaches must consider why the child feels the need to go and if they can actually recognize the signals, avoiding over-reliance on external incentives.
#40 | Toilet training, Autism & Gut Health.
Q: How do you know when to advance stages in toilet training for a child with autism?
Progress is individualized; you look at internal signals like stool type (e.g., Bristol type 4), comfort in the environment, and the child's ability to recognize, understand, and respond to bodily messages.
#40 | Toilet training, Autism & Gut Health.
Q: What actually starts the process beyond simply telling a child to sit on the toilet?
Charmaine emphasizes starting inside the body—addressing gut health with prebiotics, probiotics, and postbiotics, and ensuring the child feels safe and regulated before progressing to toilet learning.
#38 | "What If You Didn't Have to Fight So Hard?"
Q: What sparked the idea for Indy, given all the data chaos you faced?
After a period of anger and frustration, he reframed the problem as a data and communications issue and built a timeline-driven tool to consolidate all observations, documents, and communications for his daughter and other families.
#38 | "What If You Didn't Have to Fight So Hard?"
Q: Healthcare in Australia compared to the UK—what's that like?
He explains the spectrum from NHS-like universality to expensive private care, with Australia offering a mid-ground via Medicare and the NDIS, and highlights the bureaucratic waste he sees in systems worldwide.
