Our Neurodivergent Life Our Neurodivergent Life
-
- Maatschappij en cultuur
This podcast will cover a plethora of topics and has been created as a space to celebrate Neurodiversity. It is also a place where we can embrace our Neurodivergence, and unapologetically be ourselves. We are quite political and forthcoming with our opinions. You don’t have to agree with them, but they will be presented here, often quite passionately. Warning: Explicit language may be present in some recordings.
Season 1 includes ‘off the cuff recordings’, rather than planned discussions, so they are a little more ‘raw’.

Catch Up
Catching up - with too many different topics to detail… 😂 (Recorded 25th May 2022)

Easter Holidays
Sooo waffly… ;-) I meant to tell you about our Easter Holiday experience… but kind of went off on a tangent (as usual). For the first time, we managed to have some lovely experiences as a family, and I am so proud of our children, and ourselves, for everything we have put in to get to this point. I know some people will have had a really tough time…we certainly have in the past…but I wanted to share that despite the challenges, the way we have adapted our parenting to meet our children where they are…really is the best approach.

Looking for the Why!
This is a quick recording on the back of a discussion we had about looking deeper…and looking for the why…with regard to how people present at surface level. We also share a few updates and reflections. (If you want to read more about learning disabilities, I found this link helpful: https://www.mentalhealth.org.uk/fa/node/1955 “a learning disability constitutes a condition which affects learning and intelligence across all areas of life, whereas a learning difficulty constitutes a condition which creates an obstacle to a specific form of learning, but does not affect the overall IQ of an individual.” I think people often confuse the two. (And it has been bought to my attention that the definition for this is different globally…so research your area). Because my son can talk, and access some learning with a great deal of support, his learning difficulties are overlooked.)

Just a little Update

Have I Got It Together?
If you have some time on your hands and fancy listening to me waffle about having it together…or not… then feel free to tune in!

Turning Red
This is a very quick reflection on the Disney film, Turning Red. It’s pretty quick…for me… ;-) There may be more to follow… but then again, there may not… I would love to know your thoughts on the film. Have you watched it? Did you think it was appropriate for children? Did you enjoy it? What were your thoughts overall?
