Despite having a strong product idea, Reid Hoffman’s first startup collapsed, forcing him to return investors’ capital. This tough experience reshaped his approach to entrepreneurship. By embracing failure, iterating quickly, and adapting relentlessly, he went on to become a leader at PayPal and later, the co-founder of LinkedIn.

This podcast discusses homeschooling, and parenting PDA children, as PDA parents. We do go off on a tangent...and I warn you that my first attempt at editing leaves a lot to be desired. I will improve, I promise! Ignore the jumps from one part to the next if you can. Hopefully you will relate to some of our content, or find something useful.

Easter Holidays 39:12

3 years тому39:12

39:12

Sooo waffly… ;-) I meant to tell you about our Easter Holiday experience… but kind of went off on a tangent (as usual). For the first time, we managed to have some lovely experiences as a family, and I am so proud of our children, and ourselves, for everything we have put in to get to this point. I know some people will have had a really tough time…we certainly have in the past…but I wanted to share that despite the challenges, the way we have adapted our parenting to meet our children where they are…really is the best approach.…

Looking for the Why! 30:46

3 years тому30:46

30:46

This is a quick recording on the back of a discussion we had about looking deeper…and looking for the why…with regard to how people present at surface level. We also share a few updates and reflections. (If you want to read more about learning disabilities, I found this link helpful: https://www.mentalhealth.org.uk/fa/node/1955 “a learning disability constitutes a condition which affects learning and intelligence across all areas of life, whereas a learning difficulty constitutes a condition which creates an obstacle to a specific form of learning, but does not affect the overall IQ of an individual.” I think people often confuse the two. (And it has been bought to my attention that the definition for this is different globally…so research your area). Because my son can talk, and access some learning with a great deal of support, his learning difficulties are overlooked.)…

This is a very quick reflection on the Disney film, Turning Red. It’s pretty quick…for me… ;-) There may be more to follow… but then again, there may not… I would love to know your thoughts on the film. Have you watched it? Did you think it was appropriate for children? Did you enjoy it? What were your thoughts overall?…

Medical Gaslighting 49:36

49:36

This episode discusses some of my experiences with doctors and medical professionals, explaining why I feel anxious about making and attending appointments. I feel it is important that doctors have autism (Neurodiversity) on their radar, and try to treat people with compassion…rather than labelling people as hypochondriacs and denying them the support they need.…

Why Aren’t All Children In School? (Flaws With The System) 53:54

3 years тому53:54

53:54

Some people believe that when children aren’t at school, they are at home, doing nothing. And some feel parents are responsible. This does not take in to account the plethora of reasons why children do not attend school, and what a responsibility this places on parents. Somehow, as we went off on a little tangent, I didn’t cover how our child is progressing since being at home… and how our PDAers often thrive when their learning is self and interest led. There is still so much more to say… but we have covered why many children aren’t in school and how the system needs to change!…

Don’t Write Off Our Autistic Children 56:05

3 years тому56:05

56:05

This discussion was triggered by a post from Joe James the Autistic Photographer, explaining how 2-5 is too young to deem an individual as non-verbal. We then went on to discuss how our autistic children develop differently, and are often underestimated. Many professionals ‘write off’ our children, and we feel that in some cases, so much untapped potential is wasted.…

Feeling Triggered 50:09

3 years тому50:09

50:09

I was feeling triggered after reading some reports about my eldest child. I will admit, this podcast might present as an incoherent rant, but essentially, I want to communicate how much my son has been let down…and how so many families have been let down. Our system is baffling and in great need of change. How can it be justified that a child who needs such high levels of support has been denied educational, health and social interventions? How many children and families are experiencing the same issues? You need a diagnosis to be considered for specialist provision (and it might not even be adequate), but diagnosis is inaccessible to so many people. Please don’t be afraid to reach out if you are going through the same challenges. It’s emotionally draining and so exhausting. (Apparently I referred to being in 2020 when it is clearly still 2021…just. I meant that when the professional looked at me blankly when I mentioned PDA…it was 2020. Also, the EHCP assessment was applied for in 2020…so it is shocking that in that time, no real efforts have been made to adequately assess and get to know my child.)…

This ‘episode’ covers my reflections on what people expect from you, and the impact this can have. In this context, it is in relation to juggling the raising of children, which in my case are children with SEND, and keeping the house together. This topic could be extended into other areas such as the workplace……

Don’t Exclude Me Episode 1 2:11:03

This is a commentary, with sadly poor audio, about the BBC show Don’t Exclude Me. I have the show on in the background… it might be worth you bringing the show up on your screen so you can follow the events as I speak about them. (At one point I express a boy has £10 in his shoe… I meant bag… I don’t know why I said shoe…)…

Functioning Labels 1:15:19

Here we discuss the terms low and high functioning. What started out as a balanced conversation about the terms, admittedly wound up becoming a conversation about the ‘high functioning’ experience. We didn’t intend for the conversation to take this direction, but we hope you can relate to some of the topics we explore. With regard to the terminology, high and low functioning, we express that we feel the terms are inadequate. During the talk, we reference the following: Why everything you know about autism is wrong: Jac den shouting https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A1AUdaH-EPM Evil Bald Genius: https://unapologeticallyautistic.com/high-functioning-autism Levels of Support: https://www.verywellmind.com/what-is-high-functioning-autism-5198358 https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1995/50/contents I like to be honest, and I have to confess, I am unwell…and was speaking faster than usual. I didn’t know that was possible either… 😂 Sorry to my husband, who struggled to get a word in. We may need to record a follow up actually dealing with the main issue we intended to cover. Get in touch if there is anything you would like to add...…
