What’s it really like parenting a child with ADHD and autism? How can parents, teachers, and communities better support neurodivergent children? How do autistic and ADHD individuals experience the world? Each week, we explore these questions with practical strategies, emotional insight, and real stories.
I’m Greer — a mum of two boys (and two dogs!) raising a child with special educational needs (SEN) alongside my husband. Our daily life looks different from the norm, but it’s full of love, advocacy, and growth. I started this podcast to create a space for parents of neurodivergent kids, educators, and allies to learn, connect, and build understanding together.
You’ll hear parenting tips, advocacy guidance, sensory strategies, and personal reflections that shine a light on both the joys and challenges of neurodivergent parenting. Through heartfelt solo episodes and guest interviews, we’ll talk aboutEHCP or IEP processes, school support, emotional regulation, and the big feelings that come with raising ND kids.
Whether you’re here as a parent of an autistic or ADHD child, a late-diagnosed adult, a teacher seeking insight, or someone wanting to understand the neurodivergent world, this podcast is your space to grow, connect, and know you’re not alone.

Gut Health, Biomedical Interventions & Autism Parenting: A Real Conversation with Greer McGuinness
What happens when two Greers sit down to talk about autism, parenting, and the truth about gut health?
Between misinformation online and the pressure parents face to “do it all,” this conversation brings clarity, compassion, and science back into focus.
n this honest and empowering episode, Greer Jones is joined by Greer McGuinness, a registered dietitian, autism mom, and researcher dedicated to helping families understand the real connection between gut health and autism.
Together, they explore what evidence-based biomedical interventions look like in everyday life — and how parents can make meaningful changes without burnout or guilt.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
What current research says about gut health and autism
How to start small with realistic dietary and environmental changes
Common nutrition myths and what actually helps
Ways to support yourself while parenting through overwhelm
Why compassion and community matter as much as science
This episode is a breath of fresh air for parents feeling overwhelmed by “all the things.” You don’t need perfection — just progress, understanding, and a supportive community.
