If your child has just been diagnosed with autism, you might be thinking… now what? In this video I’m sharing what actually happens after the diagnosis, from the emotional rollercoaster of the meeting itself to the practical next steps with school, EHCP or IDP conversations, paperwork, financial support and protecting your own mental health. I’ve been through this four times with my own children, and I know how overwhelming that day can feel. An autism diagnosis does not change your child. It gives you data. And data helps you support them better. If you’re in this space right now, you’re not alone.

IWaiting for an autism assessment can feel overwhelming, isolating, and emotionally exhausting, especially for parents in the UK facing long waiting lists. In this video, I share what you can do while you wait to support your child, gather observations, reduce stress at home and school, and feel less helpless during this stage of the autism assessment process. I also share free and practical resources to help you recognise signs of autism, record what you’re seeing, and set up supportive routines for your neurodiverse family while you’re in this waiting period.

Parenting a child with autism who masks can feel unbelievably isolating, especially when school reports say they’re “fine” but home is full of after school meltdowns, shutdowns, anxiety, and overwhelm. In this episode, I’m talking about the hidden side of high masking children with autism, why meltdowns often happen at home with the safe person, and why you are not failing even if you’ve tried every strategy. I also share why these meltdowns are data, how to communicate with school, and how I think about regulation using the firefighter approach.

Whether my week flows smoothly or completely falls apart has very little to do with motivation — and almost everything to do with the systems I put in place beforehand. In this video, I’m sharing the weekly planning systems I use as an ADHD mum of four autistic children to reduce chaos, avoid burnout, and make the week feel calmer and more manageable. This isn’t about hustle, perfection, or rigid routines — it’s about reducing decision fatigue, supporting an ADHD brain, and setting your future self up for success.

If motivation feels like an iPhone battery that runs out fast (especially with ADHD), this episode is for you. I’m sharing the daily systems and routines I’ve put in place as an ADHD mum in a neurodiverse home so I don’t have to rely on motivation to get things done.

Feeling like you can only do life when a random burst of motivation appears? As an ADHD mum in a very neuro-sparkly family, I just cannot rely on motivation any more.

In this episode I’m sharing how I set up my environment and habits so that the right things are easy to do and the unhelpful things are harder to fall into. From cleaning supplies in every bathroom, to basket systems, go shoes, walking pad miles, phone limits, screen time boundaries, water bottle habits and uniform stations… these are the real-life systems that support my messy ADHD brain every day.

We’re also talking about habit design, future-you thinking, making good habits cute and attractive, and adding tiny bits of friction to the habits you’re trying to break.

Would you ever tell a friend you think their child might have autism? In this episode I share why my answer is usually no, what happens when you finally learn the signs of autism and start seeing them everywhere, and how the “wheel of acceptance” explains why some parents simply are not ready to hear it yet. If you are torn between staying quiet and speaking up, or you are in the middle of the autism assessment journey yourself, this honest chat will help you feel less alone and give you some practical ideas for what to do instead.
