  • Summary

  • Parenting a neurodivergent child is wonderful, but it’s challenging. Often, it can feel like the only people who understand are other parents on the same road.

    In this episode, Sonia talks to Francesca Rudkin, who had to navigate life with a daughter in crisis, before ADHD was identified.

    We meet members of the ‘Dad’s Autism Support Group’ in Auckland who all have kids with high-needs on the autism spectrum. They say connecting with each other regularly, and sharing the highs - and the lows - has been invaluable.

    And educational psychologist, Willow Sainsbury, talks about the experience for parents getting a diagnosis and support. The main theme of her research study was ‘the battle’.

    Guests:
    Francesca Rudkin
    Peter, Mac, Noah and Gareth from the Dad’s Autism Support Group
    Willow Sainsbury Research Study on Parent's Experiences
