In this episode of the All Kids Can Podcast, I sit down with the incredible Steph Robertson—a gifted autistic ADHDer, occupational therapist, and mum of three—who brings a unique blend of professional and personal experience to the conversation. With nearly a decade of clinical expertise and a lifetime of lived experience, Steph is passionate about advocating for neurodivergent-affirming practices that allow kids to feel seen, heard, and valued.
We cover so much in this chat, from understanding how masking impacts neurodivergent children to the real-world changes we need in schools to make them truly inclusive. Steph also shares practical advice for parents on how to trust their instincts, advocate for their kids, and create environments where they can thrive just as they are.
You’ll learn about the concept of the double empathy problem and how it highlights the shared responsibility of communication between neurotypical and neurodivergent individuals. This episode is packed with practical tips and heart, offering hope and guidance to parents and carers navigating this journey.
I hope you enjoy it! Please like, subscribe and share this episode with a friend. x
