In this bumper Season One Finale we are joined by 2 incredible advocates, Kellie founder of Born Anxious and SEN Parent, and Andi, our very own Adoption and SEN advocate and parent.

This episode is dedicated to Autism, what is autism? What are the signs? What should you do?

In this lighthearted and educational finale we really pushed the boat out to give you (what we think) is our best episode yet!

See you all on the 8th October, and thank you for listening!
