Podcast Listeners - They loved it!

Thank you so much for sharing your journey. Was in tears listening to you recalling those challenging early years & the no sleep & feeling of helplessness to help our beautiful babies. You've always highlighted the importance of listening to Autistic voices & I've learned so much from your resources over the years, that I will take with me to keep trying to support families.

Brilliant episode. I'm literally sitting down making a start on my thesis for a masters on barriers in education for Autistic children while listening to this.
