      <title>Some Days… I Just Don’t Know How To Keep Going</title>
      <description><![CDATA[In this episode, we open up about the reality of parenting children with additional needs the part no one talks about.

From receiving an autism diagnosis to navigating school struggles, burnout, and the emotional weight that comes with it… this is an honest conversation about what life really looks like behind the scenes.

We talk about:
→ The moment everything changes after a diagnosis
→ Feeling alone, even when you’re not
→ The pressure of “coping” when you’re not okay
→ Parenting through meltdowns, anxiety, and uncertainty
→ Why sharing online has become our way of surviving

This isn’t advice.
This isn’t perfect.

This is just our truth.

      <title>The Company That Actually Puts People First | Black&amp; White Bridging</title>
      <description><![CDATA[This episode gets real about something most workplaces avoid…

We sit down with the team behind a people-first business that’s doing things differently supporting neurodivergent employees, embracing individuality, and proving that “misfits” might actually be the key to success.

From ADHD diagnoses and medication to building environments where people can actually thrive, this conversation is raw, honest, and eye-opening.

If you’ve ever felt like you don’t fit the mould… this one’s for you.

Because maybe the problem isn’t you it’s the system.

What looks like “fussy behaviour” can actually be something much deeper.

We sat down with the founder of Morning Marvels, a children’s clothing brand designed for kids with sensory processing challenges — after her own child struggled daily with what most people take for granted: getting dressed.

From meltdowns over labels…
To refusing certain fabrics…
To turning that pain into a business helping thousands of families…

If you’re a parent, or just want to understand what some families go through behind closed doors — this one will open your eyes.

      <title>Born at 24 Weeks…</title>
      <description><![CDATA[This episode will stay with you.

Born at just 24 weeks, Joshua was given only a small chance of survival. He spent 6 months in hospital, faced multiple diagnoses, and struggled to communicate for years…

But today? He’s speaking, expressing himself, and sharing his story.

In this powerful conversation, we talk about:

- The reality of premature birth
- Living with cerebral palsy and autism
- The emotional journey of parenting a child with additional needs
- Finding strength in the hardest moments
- And the breakthrough moment every parent dreams of

This is a story of resilience, love, and never giving up.

      <title>Our Daughter Nearly Died… | Gaby</title>
      <description><![CDATA[This is one of the most emotional stories we’ve ever shared.

Gabby opens up about her daughter Nelly’s journey from a terrifying moment in ICU where her heart stopped… to the life-changing diagnosis that followed.

What started as small signs that “something wasn’t right” turned into a fight for answers, leading to a diagnosis of Turner Syndrome — a rare genetic condition affecting 1 in 2000 girls.

This is a story about resilience, motherhood, and never giving up on your child ❤️

      <title>I Thought It Was Anxiety… Then I Was Diagnosed Autistic | Simon</title>
      <description><![CDATA[Simon is an autistic teacher working in a mainstream school — diagnosed later in life after years of masking, burnout, and being misunderstood.

In this episode, Simon opens up about what it’s really like navigating sensory overload, social expectations, and rigid school systems while supporting neurodivergent children every single day.

We talk about late diagnosis, autistic burnout, inclusive teaching, and why behaviour should be supported — not managed.

This conversation is essential listening for parents, educators, and anyone questioning whether the system truly works for neurodivergent minds.

🎧 Honest. Eye-opening. Needed.

      <title>Pain, Power &amp; Fighting for Inclusion with GB Tennis Star | Ruby Bishop</title>
      <description><![CDATA[This week on We’re Not Your Typical, we sit down with Ruby Bishop — GB wheelchair tennis player, disability advocate, and the force behind Ruby’s Law 🎾♿

Ruby opens up about living with cerebral palsy, complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) often known as “the suicide disease” as well as ADHD and dyslexia. She shares the realities of chronic pain, medical neglect after childhood, bullying in mainstream schools, and what it’s really like travelling the world as an elite disabled athlete ✈️

We talk about:
- The brutal truth about invisible vs physical disabilities
- Being excluded at school and made to feel like an inconvenience
- Why CRPS is misunderstood and under-researched
- The hidden struggles of elite disability sport
- Flying long-haul in pain, alone, and unheard
- Ruby’s Law and her mission to make PE inclusive for every child

This episode is raw, emotional, inspiring — and one every parent, teacher, and decision-maker needs to hear.

🎧 Trigger warning: discussion of chronic pain, medical trauma, and mental health.

      <title>Jessie Townz: The Struggles and Triumphs of Parenting a Child with PDA</title>
      <description><![CDATA[In this episode of "We're Not Your Typical," we welcome Jessie, who talks  about Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA), a condition that many people may not be familiar with. Jessie shares her personal journey as a mother to a seven-year-old boy with PDA, explaining what the term means and how it manifests in daily life. PDA is characterized by a loss of autonomy, leading to intense reactions to everyday demands, which can result in physical outbursts and a constant state of fight, flight, or freeze. The discussion also touches on the relationship between PDA and autism, clarifying that while PDA is often profiled within Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), it is a distinct condition. Tune in to learn more about PDA and gain insights into the experiences of families navigating this unique challenge. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.adswizz.com
