このコンテンツについて

The NeuroDADverse is more than just a podcast, it’s a weekly therapy session between two long-time friends reconnecting through the shared highs and lows of neurodivergent parenthood.


Danny is raising a six-year-old, while Ben is navigating life with two teenagers. Between them, their lived experiences span early years and adolescence, offering valuable perspective for any parent on the neurodivergent journey. Their conversations blend lived wisdom, raw honesty, and light-hearted reflection, often with Danny just entering stages that Ben has already faced. This dynamic brings warmth, curiosity, and relatable storytelling that resonates across all ages and stages of parenting.


At its heart, The NeuroDADverse exists because parenting neurodivergent children can feel incredibly isolating. Many of society’s norms simply don’t apply and it’s rare to find someone who truly hears you. This podcast was born from the need to find and grow that tribe. A space where parents can feel seen, heard, and appreciated.


Whether you’re in the thick of meltdowns, laughing uncontrollably with them or even just wondering about diagnoses you’re not alone.


Here, we speak with love, lead though our understanding and share with honesty. This is a space for ideas, laughter, and connection.


Please remember:

You are doing better than you think.

You are enough.

You are not alone.


Welcome to the NeuroDADverse.“

Real talk from two dads raising neurodivergent kids with love, laughter, and plenty of chaos.

    Paracetamol Panic, School Wins & Parenting Challenges | NeuroDADverse Ep.17
    2025/10/10

    Episode 17 🎧


    In this powerful and emotionally grounded episode, Ben and Dan dive deep into one of the most difficult parenting moments they’ve faced yet: discussing the recent misinformation spreading online about the causes of autism, specifically, false claims linking paracetamol during pregnancy to autism.


    We explore:

    •How Ben approached this sensitive topic with his childern Oscar and Mabel.

    •The emotional reactions it sparked at home.

    •The struggle to share facts without inflaming fears.


    Beyond this, the episode shares some hopeful wins:

    •Mabel’s gradual return to school despite emotionally based school avoidance.

    •Oscar’s self-awareness of needing a mental health break.

    •How teamwork with schools and family communication can pave the way for small but significant victories.


    A heartfelt reminder that raising neurodivergent children brings a unique rhythm—and in that rhythm, both challenges and joys coexist.
