Join us on Planet Puberty where we launch into the mood swing Milky Way, float by the BO black hole and gaze with wonder at the menstruation constellation.
Puberty can be a tough time for all young people but for kids with intellectual disability and autism it can be even harder, for both them and their parents and carers. On the Planet Puberty podcast we aim to make puberty less of a bumpy ride by talking about the challenges, joys and opportunities that puberty can bring.
We chat to parents and carers about their experience of supporting a child with disability through puberty. We also talk with professionals about tips and tricks you can use to help you and your child navigate this new world.

It may seem like the teenage years and moodiness go hand-in-hand. When children start puberty, changes to hormones, relationships, identity and their body can cause their moods to be more changeable. This can be challenging for both the child and their parent or carer. For parents of children who find it hard to identify and express their emotions this can be even more challenging as new emotions like sexual attraction begin to surface.
In this episode we speak with Mitchell, a young man with intellectual disability about how he dealt with his emotions through puberty, and provisional psychologist Hilary Key answers your questions about how to support children with disability with their emotions through puberty.
