Big outs , Wardrobe wins, and Strutting into September. Summer ends with flair | NeuroDADverse Ep.12
🎧 Episode 12 – Shoe Heels, Shelf Battles & Strutting into September
Ben and Dan wrap up summer with a high-energy, high-emotion episode full of wardrobe challenges, unexpected wins, and bold self-expression. As the kids prep for a new school year, Ben takes us through an emotional decluttering session with Oscar, which turns into a sensory-sensitive sorting game (with a surprise echolalia moment).
Meanwhile, Dan reflects on Frankie’s subtle bath-time wins and the return of those school-year anxieties, with a party full of supportive friends, a cinema outing that starts with a strut, and reflections on podcasting through the parenting trenches.
This episode is a celebration of growth, expression, and figuring it out as we go.
