Paul and Michael raise two sets of twins, their eldest of which have autism and epilepsy. In Diffability, they talk about their lives and the challenges they face, about products that make their lives with the boys easier, and they speak to special guests. Whether your child’s Diffability is anxiety, mental health, ASD, ADHD or any other kind of diagnosis, this podcast is here to show you that you’re not alone in your calling to raise your child with a Diffability.
'Diffability is vitally important for parents and carers of children who have additional needs or are disabled. With help and advice directly from families who are living and breathing so many different and diverse conditions, to professionals from a host of different charities and organisations who help and support families directly.
We discuss the highs and lows of parenting children with a variety of needs. As parents to children who are disabled, we know full well how difficult times can be, and equally how great times can be
After all, we’re all in this together!’ - Michael Atwal-Brice
