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.

The theory of monotropism suggests there is an autistic-specific tendency to focus attention on a small number of interests. It is a big part of modern autism theory and Archie joins Aniesa to talk in depth about what it is and what it means for those with autism including the difficulties it can present and why it can also be a strength.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
BEST MOMENTS
"This theory can explain a lot of things, it has autistic people in mind”
“It can potentially explain why we are geared towards pattern spotting and problem solving”
“A common tendency when hyperfixating is ignoring the bodies needs”
“For a lot of neurodivergent people productivity can be an uphill struggle”
