A podcast for parents navigating the complexities of raising children with the Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) profile of autism. Join host Rose, a late diagnosed autistic mum, as we explore her and other parents' experiences with PDA, home education, unschooling, and the challenges of being a parent as a late-diagnosed or undiagnosed neurodivergent person. This podcast aims to create a supportive space for sharing experiences, emphasising that you're not alone on this often difficult journey. Gain practical strategies, insights, and a sense of community where we all understand both the ups and downs of parenting and home educating a PDAer.

Ex-teacher and mum of two Sharon discusses her thoughts about the education system with Rose. We talk about how she unschools her PDAer alongside her other autistic son, having de-schooled herself. Reflections on the difficulties and learning curves of home education, including self-care for parents, and adapting to each child's unique needs. Exploring the family's adaptation to living and learning in a van this year, with plans for travel across Europe!
