    In this episode, Cliff and Eva sit down together to talk about Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria (RSD). Whether you’re a parent, educator, or young person navigating life, this episode offers valuable insights and practical understanding of RSD’s daily effects. Eva and Cliff share personal stories to help you explore the impact RSD has in social settings, at school, and when forming new relationships, including finding a boyfriend or girlfriend. They also address the most common RSD myths. EPISODE REVEALS · What Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria (RSD) actually is. · Why RSD is not simply about being “too sensitive” and how RSD differs from the relatively fleeting feelings of rejection most people experience. · People with RSD are not choosing to melt-down, it happens because their brains register rejection as a threat. · Why even small rejection cues, e.g. A look or silence can trigger spiralling into emotional overwhelm. · How to put a light spin on things if someone starts bullying you, even if you have RSD. Eva shares how she does this. · Recognising that you have RSD is the first step to understanding and learning how to manage things to minimise the impact it has on your life. · Being able to talk about your day is important. Tech-free family dinners are a great way to make sure your child or partner can do this. BEST MOMENTS "RSD stands for, rejection, sensitive, dysphoria, and some real-life examples of that would be over reactions, over thinking and emotional spirals." "You're not overreacting on purpose .…People with RSD aren't choosing to melt down. The brain registers the rejection as a threat." "One of the other misconceptions was being dramatic for attention. People with RSD often feel ashamed after episodes. It's not performative, it's painful, often followed by self-criticism." “The other misconception is - everyone feels rejected sometimes, this is no different. But the reality is, while rejection does hurt everyone, RSD causes a disproportionately intense and lasting reaction. Like a burn instead of a bruise.” RESOURCES Cliff´s book “What To Do When Your Child Shuts Down” - ⁠⁠https://amzn.eu/d/3trk6pw Eva's YT channel InspireWithUsYT - https://www.youtube.com/@InspireWithUsYT Eva's Art Sketch Book - https://amzn.eu/d/iClQiFq Late Bloomers episode about RSD - https://open.spotify.com/episode/4IzuuE1MwWCDZcaButNUEC CONTACT ME Instagram: @cliff_kilmister08 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cliff.kilmister X - @KilmisterCliff HOST BIO Cliff Kilmister is a dedicated parent, advocate, and cat whisperer with firsthand experience raising a child with autism, ADHD, and Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD).

  • Protecting Children from Online Danger – With Harry Houghton - UK Police Digital Forensics Examiner

    Protecting Children from Online Danger – With Harry Houghton - UK Police Digital Forensics Examiner
    2025/08/12
    Cliff speaks with Harry Houghton, a digital forensics examiner, as he shares how online predators work and what parents can do about it. They talk about the reality of digital investigations, including why that school uniform photo might be more dangerous than you think and how groomers use apps like Roblox to target kids. Harry explains when to call 999 for online threats, introduces the CEOP website that most parents don't know about and shares why talking openly with your children works better than blocking everything. Whether your child is neurotypical or neurodivergent, this conversation covers practical steps for staying safe online. Episode Reveals • How digital forensics work is evolving rapidly. Police now examine terabytes of data, extracting messages, location data, and web history to build criminal cases and protect victims. • Why open communication beats restrictions. Honest conversations about online dangers are more effective than simply blocking access or imposing limits without explanation. • CEOP is a free National Crime Agency resource that provides age appropriate education materials for all key stages and includes vital online reporting functions for suspected abuse. • Many social media posts reveal dangerous information, creating digital footprints that predators can exploit. • Why Parents shouldn't hesitate to call emergency services if they suspect grooming or inappropriate contact with their child, as immediate action prevents evidence destruction. • Why Neurodivergent children face additional risks. Children with autism may struggle to recognise social cues or manipulative behaviour, making them potentially more vulnerable to predators who exploit misplaced trust. • The future brings new dangers, including AI-generated imagery and encrypted messaging apps, making prevention and education more crucial than ever before. BEST MOMENTS "If you are sharing a photo of your child in their school uniform to Facebook or to Instagram or to TikTok... now the whole internet knows what school Johnny goes to." "It is an emergency, so it do, you can ring 999 for that, that is a valid thing to do. You’re not gonna get penalised for saying, I think someone is abusing my child over the internet." "Communication is the key, the best thing, and it really did make a difference." "You have to just go through, you need to have that transparent conversation and make sure that they're aware of the dangers, but they're aware of how they can handle themselves."

  • What My Autistic Teen Wishes Teachers Knew

    What My Autistic Teen Wishes Teachers Knew
    2025/08/05
    Cliff is joined again by his daughter Eva. They discuss teaching methods in school, including why phonics doesn't work for her and how she actually learns to spell. She explains what makes classrooms work better for her needs and why different methods are effective for neurodivergent students. Eva also talks about her imaginary friends who give her advice, support and can help regulate her. Episode Reveals • Why phonics methods can be counterproductive for neurodivergent learners. Teaching sounds versus spelling creates confusion when the two don't match, leading to frustration rather than learning. • Memory techniques using phrases and repetition work better than standard methods for many students. • Why stimming objects and comfort items can enhance focus and learning for many neurodiverse pupils. • How imaginary friends and spirit guides can provide emotional regulation. • Why classroom management through humour can be more effective than harsh discipline. • How sensory processing needs impact learning environments. • How teacher recognition builds confidence and motivation. • Why flexible teaching approaches are needed to accommodate different learning styles. BEST MOMENTS "I do not like phonics at all... it's frustrating because it's confusing because it teaches how to say the words... but I spell it how it sounds." "You can stand back and do nothing and watch him have a go at them, or you can step in and try to calm him down." "I was really chuffed that the teacher liked what I was drawing." "The methods that they use in the curriculum don't suit your learning style." "That's very nice. So they're giving you options as well. So it's not like they're controlling you at all. They're helping you regulate your thoughts."
