If you've ever felt dismissed, misunderstood, or unsure where you fit in the autism and ADHD conversation, this episode offers validation without oversimplifying the messiness of it all. Essential listening for SEND parents, late-diagnosed adults, and anyone who wants a more honest, nuanced conversation about neurodivergence and support. You are not alone. We discuss, why so many women are only getting autism and ADHD diagnoses after becoming parents and the difference between having traits and having a diagnosis that affects daily life. We debate why "levels" might create more problems than they solve, especially when support is already hard to access and why labels like "autistic" or "learning disability" can mean very different things depending on the person you're talking to Recommendations https://www.readyeddiego.com https://includesustoo.org.uk Check out Hels Bels link tree in her TikTok profile - @helsthesenmumSponsored By Sensory Junction - https://www.sensory-junction.co.uk Grab your cuppa and connect with us: Email:- unsensoredclub@hotmail.com WhatsApp:- 07840113994 (Voice Notes welcome)   In this episode, we open up the mic to our listeners.

    The Truth About SEN Friendships, Cliques, and Being Left Out

    Sponsored By Sensory Junction - https://www.sensory-junction.co.uk Grab your cuppa and connect with us: Email:- unsensoredclub@hotmail.com WhatsApp:- 07840113994 (Voice Notes welcome)   In this episode, we talk candidly about what friendship looks like when you are parenting children with additional needs. We cover adult friendships, school holiday survival, the role of carers, and the surprising ways neurodivergent kids form connections on their own terms. Join us for this personal, practical conversation about exclusion, masking, and finding your tribe.   Key topics Chelle shares her nerves and excitement around her boys having their first overnight stay with carers and we compare SEN-friendly outings. We also cover masking, social camouflage, and how years of adapting to different groups have shaped us in adulthood. We discuss navigating adult friendship dynamics when you are neurodivergent, have SEN children or suffer from rejection sensitivity or   The conversation explores why some friendships fade naturally when life stages diverge, especially when one group is deep in parenting and another has older children or more free time. We discuss our children’s friendships, their struggles and how exclusion has affected them (and us). We also talk about the special bonds they have found with other children, familiar adults and animals, and how empathy often shows up most clearly in those relationships.

    Bluey X-Rated

    Sponsored By Sensory Junction - https://www.sensory-junction.co.uk Grab your cuppa and connect with us: Email:- unsensoredclub@hotmail.com WhatsApp:- 07840113994 (Voice Notes welcome) This episode tackles puberty through the lens of parenting neurodivergent children. We share real-life experiences from our own families and hear some listener messages. We cover everything from precocious puberty and PMDD to hygiene struggles, body autonomy, gender identity, and the emotional impact on carers. The discussion is honest and sometimes uncomfortable, but we do try to see some light in these heavy subject matters. We believe this is the best way to open conversations that are often seen as taboo. We also discuss how important support, community, and early preparation can be when it comes to puberty in our neurodivergent children. Please remember, we are just mums sharing our lived experience.
