    224 - Your Life Didn’t Go To Plan, Now What? with Fleur Bryant

    In this episode of The Inclusive Dad podcast, host AAron talks with Fleur Bryant, a wheelchair user, mother, author, and disability advocate, about finding possibility when life doesn’t go to plan. After losing her son Toby to a terminal brain disease, Fleur transformed grief into purpose, writing Never the Plan and founding The Make Way Foundation to help children access wheelchairs and build community. She shares lessons on redefining high performance, pursuing ambitious dreams, and moving forward without leaving loved ones behind. Plus, discover how asking questions, challenging assumptions, and making small changes can create meaningful disability inclusion for everyone. Key Takeaways: Choose Possibility — Instead of asking “What if?” and dwelling on how life could have been different, ask “What is possible?” and explore what you can do now. Redefine Success — High performance is possible with a disability or other challenges. Focus on your own progress rather than comparing yourself with someone whose circumstances are different. Move Forward — Grief doesn’t mean leaving loved ones behind. Find ways to carry their memory into new experiences, goals, and meaningful work. Build Community — Surround yourself with people who understand your experiences, offer support without judgment, and help you move from surviving to thriving. Ask, Don’t Assume — Every disabled person has different needs. Ask people what would help, involve them in decisions, and recognize that small changes can make a significant difference. Fleur Bryant’s definition of inclusion: inclusion is meeting people where they are, asking questions, listening, and making sure everyone has the opportunity to pursue their dreams. Fleur Bryant’s Bio: Fleur Bryant is the Amazon #1 bestselling author of Never the Plan, founder of The Make Way Foundation, and a para endurance athlete. Fleur has faced life not going to plan in more ways than most. She struggled physically from the age of five, spent decades with the wrong diagnosis and is now a full-time wheelchair user. But the biggest change came when her middle child, Toby, was diagnosed with a terminal brain disease at seven years old. He died 18 months later, aged nine. Since then, Fleur has built The Make Way Foundation, helping disabled children access the equipment and opportunities they need to achieve their potential, written her memoir Never the Plan, and most recently completed a 33.3km open-water swimming challenge using only her arms. Today, Fleur is fascinated by one question: when life looks nothing like the plan you started with, what is still possible?

    223 - The Hidden Connection Between AuDHD, Trauma, and Addiction with Ellie AuDHD Capstick

    In this episode of The Inclusive Dad podcast, host AAron talks with Ellie AuDHD Capstick about late-diagnosed autism and ADHD, childhood experiences, and the power of understanding neurodivergence. Ellie shares how discovering her neurodivergence after her children’s diagnoses helped explain years of feeling different, facing criticism, and struggling to fit in. She discusses the intersection of neurodivergence and trauma, why neurodivergent children need safety and understanding, and how her online community creates affordable, supportive spaces. Ellie challenges listeners to recognize their privilege, stand up for others, and remember that nobody is broken. Sometimes, people simply need different skills and support. Key Takeaways: Late Diagnosis — Ellie discovered her autism and ADHD after her children received their diagnoses, helping her understand a lifetime of feeling different. Stop the Criticism — Neurodivergent people may experience repeated criticism for behaviors others accept, making understanding and acceptance essential. Trauma and Vulnerability — Ellie discusses how neurodivergence can intersect with trauma, bullying, addiction, and unhealthy relationships, emphasizing the importance of safety, boundaries, and prevention. Inclusion Takes Action — Inclusion means accepting people as they are, recognizing privilege, and advocating for people who face discrimination or exclusion. Find Your Tribe — Nobody is broken or beyond help; with the right skills, support, and community, people can find belonging and acceptance. Ellie AuDHD Capstick’s definition of inclusion: Inclusion is where everyone is accepted. Ellie AuDHD Capstick’s Bio: I’m Ellie, an AuDHD educator, podcast host and founder of Ellie AuDHD. Like many late-diagnosed neurodivergent adults, I spent years wondering why life seemed harder for me than everyone else. Receiving my diagnosis helped me understand myself, but it also highlighted how much misinformation, shame and loneliness still surrounds ADHD and autism. I also sadly believe my a AuDHD made me susceptible to all kinds of abuse throughout my life and I’m passionate about helping protect our Neurodivergent Youth becoming part of the same statistics. Today, I use my lived experience alongside practical education to help neurodivergent people feel seen, understood and less alone. Through my podcast, AuDHD and Then Some, and my growing online community of 50,000 plus, I have honest conversations about ADHD, autism, masking, burnout, childhood trauma, relationships, executive functioning and the realities of everyday neurodivergent life. I’m known for making complex topics easy to understand with warmth, humour and honesty. Whether we’re discussing serious subjects like trauma and recovery or laughing about the everyday shit parts of AuDHD life, my aim is always the same: to help people understand themselves with a little more compassion and a lot less shame. If you’re looking for a genuine, engaging conversation that your audience will relate to, I’d love to join you.  Connect with Ellie AuDHD Capstick: Linktree: https://linktr.ee/Ellieaudhd Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1CVwSKLfWq/?mibextid=wwXIfr YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Ellieaudhd Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ellie_audhd_and_then_some/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ellie-audhd-capstick-b8a971415/?isSelfProfile=false SPAM© Count: Host: Yes Current Guest: No Cumulative Guest Stats: Yes - 97 No - 124 ☕ Buy me a Coffee: ⁠https://buymeacoffee.com/theinclusivedad⁠ Subscribe to Podcast Newsletter: https://www.theinclusivedadpodcast.com/newsletter/ Want to be a guest on Inclusion and Advocacy from a Parent's Perspective: The Inclusive Dad?

    222 - STOP Judging People Who “Don’t Look Disabled” with Jennifer Chassman Browne & Hope Demetriades

    In this episode of The Inclusive Dad podcast, host AAron talks with author and disability advocate Jenn Chassman Browne and artist, educator, and activist Hope Demetriades about the power of stories to create understanding and inclusion. Jenn shares her book See Us, Know Us: Profiles of Disability, featuring 30 people with diverse disabilities and identities. Hope discusses living with an invisible disability, the challenges of being misunderstood, and why curiosity is more powerful than judgment. They explore accessibility, inclusive education, neurodiversity, allyship, and the importance of listening to people’s lived experiences. This conversation reminds us that inclusion begins when we slow down, listen, and see people for who they are.  Key Takeaways: Stories Build Understanding — Personal stories can help people move past defensiveness and connect with the lived experiences of people with disabilities. Invisible Disabilities Matter — Someone who looks completely able-bodied may be experiencing significant pain or navigating challenges others simply cannot see. Curiosity Beats Judgment — Inclusion means being curious about differences rather than making assumptions, judging, or automatically deciding what someone needs. Rethink Education — Better disability awareness and teacher training can help schools recognize individual needs and create more genuinely inclusive classrooms. Allyship Requires Action — Understanding disability should lead to meaningful action, advocacy, accommodations, and a commitment to ensuring disabled people have a seat at the table. Hope Demetriades’ definition of inclusion: Inclusion is approaching others with curiosity rather than fear and judgment. Hope Demetriades’ Bio: Hope Demetriades is an artist, educator, and activist whose work explores abolition, social justice, and inclusion. Living with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, a connective tissue disorder, Hope brings personal experience and advocacy to conversations about invisible disabilities, accessibility, and the importance of understanding that people’s needs aren’t always visible. She is passionate about helping educators recognize and support different ways people learn, move, and participate. Through her art and advocacy, Hope encourages people to approach differences with curiosity rather than fear or judgment—and to be slow to judge what they cannot see.  Connect with Hope Demetriades: Website: https://www.hopedemetriades.com/ Connect with Jennifer Chassman Browne: Website: https://jenniferchassmanbrowne.com/ SPAM© Count: Host: Yes Current Guest: Yes Cumulative Guest Stats: Yes - 97 No - 123 ☕ Buy me a Coffee: ⁠https://buymeacoffee.com/theinclusivedad⁠ Subscribe to Podcast Newsletter: https://www.theinclusivedadpodcast.com/newsletter/ Want to be a guest on Inclusion and Advocacy from a Parent's Perspective: The Inclusive Dad?

    Listen Again - 179 - Why “Fixing Bodies” Is the Wrong Conversation with BE Alink

    In this episode of The Inclusive Dad podcast, host AAron DeVries sits down with BE Alink, inventor, author, and founder of the Alinker walking bike, for a bold and thought-provoking conversation about inclusion, identity, and systems that were never built for everyone. BE challenges the idea of “fixing bodies” and instead invites us to rethink mobility, disability, and belonging. Together, they explore why inclusion often feeds exclusionary systems, how language shapes power, and what it looks like to create something so compelling that people want to belong. This episode is an honest call to reclaim creativity, dignity, and community. Key Takeaways: Cool Over Clinical - Designing mobility tools people want to use changes how society treats disability. Systems Exclude - Inclusion exists only because systems were built to leave people out. Language Matters - Words shape power—language can liberate or reinforce harm. Identity Stories - We’re more than labels; internalized stories shape worth and behavior. Build Something Better - Real change comes from creating new, magnetic communities—not fighting broken systems. BE Alink’s definition of inclusion: Inclusion is something that is manufactured by a system that inherently excludes certain groups based on their fear. BE Alink’s Bio: BE Alink was born and raised in the Netherlands, is a trained woodworker and restoration architect who left NL, for what became 10 years of community reconstruction work in Kenya, The Sudan, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Kosovo of which 3,5 years in Afghanistan.  BE is the founder and inventor of the Alinker walking bike, which she refers to as a vehicle of change. BE's reverse design practices / philosophy lead to the Alinker, which is not built for a "body-with-a-problem" but for who we are, active and engaged. BE is a gender bender, and has often been called crazy, all over the place, scattered. People told her to focus, and to comply, but BE does not fit in, just held true to her vision that the world needs something else, for and by us all, no one excluded. BE focuses on who we are, not what we have.  BE has built her company into a movement of people showing up for each other. Years ago, she said: "I dream of a world where the dismissed people of today are our leaders of tomorrow”.  BE employs Alinker users (otherwise unemployed), pays everybody living wage, The Alinker has certified BCorp status, is more than carbon neutral, and practically plastic free.  The Alinker company is built to create access to health, by building access to mobility, community and real food.  BE is also a musician, composer and frequency /neuroscience-based soundscape recording artist creating frequency and sound healing compositions. After years of studying and practicing in my own space, this is the first time I am publicly coming out in this capacity.

    Listen Again -Creating Space for Neurodiversity in Eating Disorder Recovery with Nefrit El-Or -Ep 30

    In this episode of The Inclusive Dad Podcast, host AAron interviews Nefrit El-Or, an advocate for eating disorder recovery and late-diagnosed autism awareness. Nefrit shares her journey from feeling broken to embracing self-acceptance after receiving an autism diagnosis during treatment for anorexia nervosa. She highlights the significant overlap between autism and eating disorders, emphasizing the need for greater inclusivity and accommodations in treatment settings. Nefrit discusses her creative process as a songwriter, which helped her cope and express her struggles. Her story inspires listeners to practice compassion, break stereotypes, and embrace diverse experiences, fostering a more inclusive society. Key Takeaways: Self-Acceptance Journey: Self-love and grace can take years to develop but are crucial for recovery. Collaborative Care: Clinicians who are neuroaffirming and compassionate are essential to effective treatment. Words Matter: Avoid commenting on appearance to support individuals with eating disorders compassionately. Cultural Misconceptions: Stereotypes about autism and eating disorders create barriers to understanding and effective care. Boundaries Build Trust: Compassionate boundaries in care create safety and support for recovery. Nefrit’’s definition of inclusion: For a great sum of my life, I felt that I was not seen. That my difficulties were transparent. Inclusiveness, in my book, is seeing and making space for everyone, for what they are. Nefrit’s Bio: Writer, blogger, musician/singer songwriter. 2e AuDHD, a free spirit, a coffee lover, and a lover of Love and of knowledge, of anything whimsical and of all things Nature, a mother of two, and a homeschool educator, Nefrit El-Or is an advocate for eating disorders recovery and autism awareness. As a previously undiagnosed autistic, Nefrit spent her life feeling broken, as though something was inherently flawed within her. In 2022, after three years of unremitting starvation under the sway of Anorexia Nervosa, she found herself standing on the brink of death, burned out on a life she couldn’t do. Nefrit had to leave her two young children and husband behind and spend ten months away from her home in the highest levels of care in treatment for eating disorders, battling for her life. At the end of those ten grueling months, she returned home, filled with triumph, love, and gratitude for a world that helped her live. Receiving her autism diagnosis was what helped turn the tides. It enabled her to finally begin unraveling her life and embark on a transformative journey of self-acceptance. Today, Nefrit wishes to use her powerful and difficult experiences to help others navigate their own journeys, through her music and writing. She is an advocate for eating disorder recovery and late-identified autism, aiming to raise awareness for the prevalence and comorbidity between the two. Her music, depicting her struggles, can be found on YouTube and other music platforms such as iTunes and Spotify. She is also a blogger and is currently finishing a book that chronicles her journey.

    Listen Again - A Human-Centric Approach with Michaell Magrutsche - Episode 54

    In this episode of The Inclusive Dad Podcast, host AAron welcomes Michaell Magrutsche, an advocate for human-centric perspectives. They discuss the natural state of inclusion, the flaws in systemic labeling, and the need to rethink education and support systems. Michaell shares his personal experiences with dyslexia and neurodiversity, emphasizing that every human is uniquely designed by nature. The conversation challenges societal norms, highlighting how bureaucracy and financial systems dehumanize individuals. AAron reflects on his daughter's experience navigating special education, reinforcing the need for awareness and systemic updates that prioritize human needs over rigid structures. Key Takeaways: Inclusion is Natural – Inclusion isn't an add-on; it's how humanity was designed. Systems create exclusion, not nature. Labels vs. Humanity – Systems rely on labels to distribute resources, but labels often misrepresent individuals. Systems Need Updating – We created systems, so we can and must update them to be more human-centered. Education Shift Needed – Traditional education was built for outdated purposes; we must redefine its role in a modern world. Human-Centric Awareness – Shifting from systemic thinking to human-centric awareness is key to meaningful change. Michaell’s definition of inclusion: Inclusion is natural. Michaell’s Bio: I am an Austrian-Californian Multimedia Artist. I became a creativity-awareness educator through my experience-based outside-the-box upbringing that I was forced into, through my neurodiversity. I am totally self-taught, author of 5 books, podcaster, speaker, guide, former Newport Beach CA Arts-Commissioner and co-produced with Robert Evans. Fluent in German and English. My ability is that I can see hidden contexts which allows me to resolve paradoxes and together we arrive at awareness solutions in leadership, hospitality, customer service, communication, success vs. fulfillment and obviously any form of creativity and culture. I separate each problem/solution in human and system relevancy, which allows all participants/host/listeners to become aware and align needs.  Without creativity there are no man-made systems, there would be no world as we know it.  I discover patterns within art/creativity that foster creative communication and identify art-values outside of any art product. This perspective of looking at creativity this way brings humanity together, shows its limitlessness and raises our human potential.  I discovered that there are three inherent human-superpowers that we all should be aware of: 1. Creativity, 2. Healthy Dialogue and 3. Adaptability.  Connect with Michaell: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaellart/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/michaellstateofart Website: https://michaellm.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thesmartofart Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/2XNFlcouPlA3iTAVvUG3MW?si=d781c5ee33884bbe SPAM© Count: Host: Yes Current Guest:  No Cumulative Guest Stats: Yes - 26 No - 26 ☕ Buy me a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/theinclusivedad Subscribe to Podcast Newsletter: https://www.theinclusivedadpodcast.com/newsletter/ Want to be a guest on Inclusion and Advocacy from a Parent's Perspective: The Inclusive Dad?

Challenge Stereotypes — Her story pushes back against assumptions about wheelchair users, disability, happiness, relationships, and what someone can accomplish.

Speak Up — Accessibility requires people to communicate their needs instead of assuming others will automatically know what accommodations are necessary. Inclusion Wins — Tasha encourages everyone to notice opportunities for inclusion at home, work, and in their communities because everyone benefits when inclusion improves. Tasha Schuh’s definition of inclusion: Inclusion is acceptance and finding ways for everyone to be included.
