Show Notes
We’re back for Season 6!
This week, as we kick off ADHD Awareness Month, we’re joined by Bradley Riches to talk about overcoming mutism, finding his voice and learning to communicate in his own way.
We discuss Bradley’s experiences growing up autistic, his acting career, acceptance, and why there isn’t one “right” way to communicate.
Bradley also shares his thoughts on normalising different neurospicy communication styles and making space for people to express themselves in ways that work for them.

For our landmark 60th episode, we’re joined by the brilliantly candid Sarina and Roger Taylor. In this, Roger Taylor’s first-ever podcast appearance, they open up about late ADHD diagnosis, the realities of masking, and the practical strategies that help them navigate daily life, from medication and mindfulness to lists, routines, and even Sarina’s famous “beans” system. We explore the emotional side of late diagnosis, the importance of support and self-acceptance, and how neurodivergence can shape both struggle and strength. It’s an intimate, high-profile, and very special conversation with plenty of laughs, heartfelt moments, and a few surprises along the way. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
