This one hits different. We talk about what happen... more

  • 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.

    Episode 15 (Aussie Dad)

    Just wanna thank the Aussie dad on this one.

    All episodes I’ve managed to listen too are a great spotlight

    For everyday life for SEN parents and this one just hit home a bit more…

    Especially with the shopping and playing out scenarios in your head which I do aswell.. There should be a little hand signal you could do just to say .. yeah man I see ya, all is good.

    SEN parents have to be built different.

    Good luck to all going through these everyday challenges.

  • Brilliant pod

    As a father to a 5 year old son with autism. This podcast is so relatable I find myself nodding along to what they say and also tearing up at some of the stuff they say because I’ve not heard anyone else say the things they say apart from me in my own head. Only listened to two so far but it’s great to listen. Sound like two top blokes.
