Have you heard of Autistic Radio yet? Evalynne chats with Jules Barton and Liz Vande Putt about the concept – how it developed, why it was set up and how to get on board! They both also talk about their own diagnoses and how they feel about being autistic and, for Liz, potentially ADHD. We discuss the power of audio - and listening to authentic voices - for Neurodivergent people

We also chat about the challenges of running a household.  Join our conversation now.

Evalynne speaks with Dr Shirley Woods-Gallagher PhD about her late autistic diagnosis that she received the evening before her father’s funeral during Covid restrictions.  We also talk about social and emotional mental health, stigma and ‘coming out’ as autistic both personally and publicly.  Dr Woods-Gallagher also discusses her amazing wealth of experience and passion for equality, the impact of the pandemic on early years, LEGO and the charity Respect for All.
