This episode is a fairly run-of-the-mill chit chat from a random Thursday in the middle of September.

Themes include doing things for the first time, seasonal rhythms, breathing, special interests and the significance of "perspective".

We showcase Leo's new drone and Siana would like to apologise for "droning" on a bit about her cough.

Bonus SPIN-ny energy at the end 🧡💛

S2 E2: To Medicate Or Not To Medicate (An Auditory Chronicle)

Leo is currently on the NHS pathway towards trying out ADHD medication. We discuss his experience of the assessment process so far. We then explore Siana's experience as a parent navigating the system.

We speak about common obstacles and concerns within the process. We also reflect on whether medication might have changed outcomes for each of us in education and / or the workplace.

We attempt to navigate elements of privilege sensitively and acknowledge that this is an initial conversation which was hope will spark further discussion and reflection.

We would love to hear your thoughts! 🧡💛

S2 E6: I Don't Feel Like Coming Up With A Title

In this episode we discuss the concept of Autistic Demand Avoidance.

Siana differentiates ADA from PDA and speaks from her own experience of how it shows up across a range of areas in her life.

We also check in on Leo's ADHD clinical diagnosis journey. We notice how classic traits of hyperactivity and inattention feature in our lives.

We then discuss some aspects of privilege and class related to lifestyle and "choice". We also introduce a few considerations which seem pertinent to therapeutic relationships.

We do, of course, distract and delight in words and meanings along the way ... which quite possibly says as much about what we are talking about as what we actually say 💛🧡
