    No. 74 Iain Girvan on Autism and Pathological Demand Avoidance - Kultura Incident E72 Clips

    This episode is a series of clips taken from the recent Kultura Incident Episode. Iain Girvan's journey as a father has been shaped by the challenges and complexities of raising a child with unique needs. When a pediatrician casually mentioned a term that piqued his curiosity, Iain delved into extensive research, scouring websites and reading everything he could. Despite his efforts, he found a glaring absence of fathers in the discourse, with much of the focus directed towards mothers.
