Struggles with clothing | Steph Curtis

This episode focuses on the daily struggle to find clothing that our neurodifferent children will tolerate wearing.

Mark talks to Steph Curtis, author and parent of two neurodivergent children (both teenagers, diagnosed autistic - one with a strong PDA profile). They swap tales of regular battles with labels and seams, the nightmare of school clothes and their children's preference for being naked - even in the most inappropriate moments.
