NeuroDADverse

Danny Eycott - Ben Wisdom-Quieros

The NeuroDADverse is more than just a podcast, it’s a weekly therapy session between two long-time friends reconnecting through the shared highs and lows of neurodivergent parenthood. Danny is raising a six-year-old, while Ben is navigating life with two teenagers. Between them, their lived experiences span early years and adolescence, offering valuable perspective for any parent on the neurodivergent journey. Their conversations blend lived wisdom, raw honesty, and light-hearted reflection, often with Danny just entering stages that Ben has already faced. This dynamic brings warmth, curiosity, and relatable storytelling that resonates across all ages and stages of parenting. At its heart, The NeuroDADverse exists because parenting neurodivergent children can feel incredibly isolating. Many of society’s norms simply don’t apply and it’s rare to find someone who truly hears you. This podcast was born from the need to find and grow that tribe. A space where parents can feel seen, heard, and appreciated. Whether you’re in the thick of meltdowns, laughing uncontrollably with them or even just wondering about diagnoses you’re not alone. Here, we speak with love, lead though our understanding and share with honesty. This is a space for ideas, laughter, and connection. Please remember: You are doing better than you think. You are enough. You are not alone. Welcome to the NeuroDADverse.“ Real talk from two dads raising neurodivergent kids with love, laughter, and plenty of chaos.

    My son made me dinner...kinda and it meant everything | NeuroDADverse Ep.63

    Sometimes the biggest parenting breakthrough isn't hearing a new word, it's finally understanding what your child has been trying to tell you all along. Sometimes progress isn't loud. Sometimes it looks like a picture card on the fridge, a homemade fajita, a family walk, or a child quietly showing you exactly what they need. This week on The NeuroDADverse, Dan and Ben reflect on a week filled with those seemingly small moments that actually mean everything. From visual schedules helping Frankie prepare for swimming, to unexpected communication breakthroughs and family adventures led entirely by him, it's an episode about recognising progress in all its different forms. Ben also shares how changing the way he communicates with Oscar has encouraged more independence, while both dads reflect on the importance of adapting to their children's needs rather than expecting them to adapt to ours. In this episode we discuss: - Using visual schedules and social stories - Supporting autistic communication - Independence and reducing conversational pressure - Frankie's growing confidence and decision-making - A family walk that turned into an unexpected adventure - Summer holidays before the return to school - Celebrating the little wins that most people never see If you're parenting an autistic or ADHD child, or navigating life within the SEND community, we hope this episode reminds you that communication comes in many forms and every small step forward deserves celebrating. 💛 We'd love to hear about one moment your child surprised you this week.

    When your child starts regulating themselves mid swim | NeuroDADverse Ep 62

    One of the hardest parts of parenting isn't knowing what to do. It's knowing when to step back. This week on The NeuroDADverse, Dan and Ben reflect on the hidden challenge of supporting neurodivergent children without feeling like you have to solve every problem for them. From disrupted sleep routines and summer holidays to live music, gaming, friendships and swimming lessons, this episode is full of honest conversations about recognising progress, even when it doesn't look how you expected.  We also chat about: Summer holiday sleep routinesThe pressure of returning to schoolWhy every neurodivergent child is differentSupporting independence without removing safetyFamily concerts and navigating new environmentsGaming as a way to connect with teenagersThe importance of trusted friends and sleepoversA huge swimming breakthrough built on self-regulation rather than intervention One of our biggest takeaways this week is that parenting isn't always about calming the storm for our children. Sometimes it's about becoming the safe place they return to while they learn to calm themselves. 💛 If this episode resonates with you, we'd love to hear about a moment when you realised your child was becoming more independent than you expected.

    We Never Thought Family Holidays Could Feel Like This | Autism & ADHD Parenting | NeuroDADverse Ep.61

    There was a time when we weren't sure we'd ever manage a family holiday like this. Now we're looking back, not because everything was perfect, but because we've realised just how far our families have come. This week on The NeuroDADverse, Ben reflects on returning from Turkey after two incredible weeks away, while Dan shares the ongoing reality of summer holidays, changing routines and helping Frankie navigate another week without school. From airport anxiety and negotiating with teenagers to swimming from boats, family adventures, sensory regulation and celebrating those unexpected moments of independence, this episode is a reminder that progress often happens so gradually you don't notice it until you stop and look back. We also discuss: Travelling abroad with neurodivergent childrenSummer holidays and losing routineSupporting autistic and ADHD teenagers through transitionsWhy every family win is built on hundreds of tiny stepsBuilding resilience through new experiencesLooking ahead to another busy family week If you're raising an autistic child, navigating ADHD, or parenting within the SEND community, we hope this episode reminds you that your difficult days don't define your journey.

    Autism Family Life in Summer Holidays: Every Day Was a Win... and a Challenge |NeuroDADverse Ep.60

    When you're raising a neurodivergent child, even the happiest family days are built on countless unseen adaptations and every little win feels enormous. Some families come home from holiday feeling rested. Others come home proud they made it through. This week, Dan is joined by Amy while Ben is still away, and together they reflect on an entire week of summer holiday adventures with Frankie. Instead of focusing on one big win or challenge, they take you through each day, sharing the highs, the setbacks, the unexpected moments and the tiny victories that made the week so memorable. From holiday club successes and SEND playdates to a beach trip, swimming lessons, Godstone Farm and preparing Frankie for his first independent outing without Mum or Dad, it's an honest look at what family holidays really look like when autism, ADHD and sensory needs are part of everyday life. Along the way they discuss: Why small wins deserve celebratingSensory overload in busy environmentsSleep challenges during the summer holidaysSupporting regulation through unfamiliar situationsSwimming breakthroughs and growing confidenceThe emotional planning that happens behind every family day out If you're raising an autistic child, navigating ADHD, or parenting within the SEND community, we hope this episode reminds you that progress isn't measured by perfect days; it's measured by the courage to keep showing up. 💛 We'd love to hear about your own summer holiday wins and challenges.

    The First Week of Summer Holidays Was Harder Than We Expected

    Sometimes the biggest parenting victories aren't the perfect days—they're the moments your child finally feels safe enough to thrive. Some days you're running on empty... then your child does something that reminds you why you never give up. Summer holidays have arrived, routines have disappeared, sleep has become even more unpredictable, and like many SEND families, we're trying to find our feet all over again. This week Dan is joined by Amy while Ben records from holiday, as we share the honest reality of the first week of the summer break. We talk about Frankie's ongoing sleep struggles, sensory overload, and why evenings can become the hardest part of the day for autistic children with ADHD. We also celebrate some huge family wins, from private swimming lessons finally clicking, to growing independence at home, and the little moments that remind us progress isn't always loud. Meanwhile, Ben shares the challenges and victories of taking his family abroad, navigating anxiety, new experiences and proving just how far they've all come over the last few years. If you're raising an autistic child, parenting a child with ADHD, or navigating life as a SEND family, we hope this episode reminds you that progress often looks different—and that's okay. You're not failing. You're adapting. And you're definitely not alone. If this episode feels familiar, we'd love to hear about your own wins and challenges from the summer holidays.

    A Quick Update... Our One Year Q&A Is Almost Here!

    After a year of never missing a Friday release, we'd rather be honest about a delay than rush something our community deserves to enjoy. Sometimes the best decision is to wait just a little longer. This isn't our usual NeuroDADverse episode. Instead, Dan shares a quick update explaining why our special one-year anniversary Q&A isn't quite ready yet and why we think it'll be worth the wait. First of all, thank you. Thank you to everyone who sent in questions, supported the podcast over the last year and helped build such an incredible community around NeuroDADverse. Recording our first ever in-person Q&A has been a huge milestone for us, but with summer holidays beginning and the realities of producing an independent podcast around family life, we've simply run out of time to finish the edit to the standard we'd like. Rather than rush it, we'd rather take a few extra days and give you the episode it deserves. Over the next few weeks you'll also hear Dan joined by guest hosts while Ben enjoys a well-earned family holiday, as they continue sharing the wins and challenges of raising neurodivergent children through the summer holidays.
