Stretch Marks

Amy De Bhrún - Mothering Neurodiversity & Why Parents Need More Compassion


Listen Later



On this award winning show we talk about the parts of life stretching us to our limits, the growth that we are grateful for and the marks left behind.

Stretch marks don't just happen on your body - they happen throughout your life.


This week on Stretch Marks I am joined by Irish Actress, Writer, Producer and all round icon Amy De Bhrún, best known for her roles in Line of Duty, Vikings, Jason Bourne...


In this conversation, Sinead and Amy De Bhrun explore the emotional and practical challenges of parenting a neurodivergent child, particularly focusing on Amy's film 'Samhain'.

They discuss the stigma surrounding autism, and the importance of support systems for families.

The conversation highlights the personal journey of creating the film, the societal perceptions of neurodiversity, and the hope for a more compassionate understanding of autism in the future.


Her new short film "SAMHAIN" is inspired by her son River's autism diagnosis and is available to watch on Virgin Media Player later tonight Wednesday 24th Feb 2026.
