A podcast all about empowering kids and the adults who raise them, care for them and teach them. Through making connections, sharing, and learning together.
This podcast is for all those parents who want their children to thrive, to succeed and simply not to have to struggle with what seems to come so easily to other kids their age. It is for anyone caring for a child with any range or level of additional needs.
I will share my own tips, tricks, strategies, hacks, rants and moans for achieving greater connection in your life.
Aniesa completed her degree in Occupational Therapy at the University of Stellenbosch, in South Africa. She has since been focusing on paediatrics and sensory processing and integration. She has worked across a range of paediatric fields and has extensive experience in autism, specific learning difficulties, as well as anxiety and emotional regulation. Aniesa has one teenaged son with autism, and one with sensory difficulties. She herself was diagnosed at a late age as having ADHD and has found that understanding her neurodivergence has led to greater connection with children and their parents.

Aniesa is joined by mentor Archie in this episode to debunk many of the myths and misconceptions surrounding autism. They talk about the most common ones they have heard and discuss what might be the reasons behind them.
COMMON MYTHS AND MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT AUTISM
BEST MOMENTS
“It’s a representation of the diagnostic criteria, not a representation of actual autism”
“When it comes to the idea of curing autism it kind of perpetuates the medical model of disability”
“Autism is a way of being, a way of seeing the world”
“We need to now be looking at the 50/60/70 year old autistic people”
“It’s amazing how that one person can just have such a huge impact”
“That can be a boundary for getting diagnosed, not being able to express normative emotions”
