Description
An unfiltered, unflinching, and occasionally inappropriate deep dive into the world of autism parenting, from a dad's perspective.
Gaz and Andy are two dads doing this in real time, not experts with a script. Honest conversations about autism and ADHD, diagnosis and assessment, EHCPs and school, meltdowns and sensory overload, and the parts of SEN parenting nobody warns you about.
