So pleased Trish has produced this podcast. It's truly, authentically 'her' - kind, non-judgemental, warm, funny and chatty; listening on my dog walks is a really calming experience! As a previous reviewer said, everyone should learn about autism and neurodiversity, just as we should try to educate ourselves about race and gender, so that EVERYONE can be included and understood in our society. We have a long, long way to go, clearly (thankfully that absolute a***hole who accosted Trish after a l... more

United Kingdom2 years ago I love this podcast! It’s honest, informative, touching and very educational, not to mention at times quite funny! It is not just for anyone living with autism but for everyone. We should all try to understand the world of autism better because it is all around us if we take the time to look and understand, and to accept and help.
Shamefully, until not so long ago, I was one of those parents that would scowled at other parents that could not keep their children under control. I now know that ... more

Fantastic 2nd episode Trish!
While I do not live with autism in my life or that of my family, I am trying to learn more about it to better understand people around me who may be living with autism in some way in their lives.
This episode is full of great information on where you can start finding help and learning more. It is also a very touching listen to Trish’s early journey which I imagine is much the same in many ways to that of any parent with small children who begin to suspect their ch... more
Apple Podcasts5MaBerylUnited Kingdom3 years ago - It's a wonderful world
As Trish's parents and Henry's grandparents we are absolutely delighted that these Podcasts have begun and will hopefully go on and on and on. We have been involved from the beginning with this family's life in an Autism atmosphere, a place where threads are constantly and lovingly being extracted to create harmony. We have experienced many of the negative and positive things that you talk about Trish. You are eternally interesting, knowledgeable and encouraging. Above all we wish you success in... more
