The cost of living and the pressures on the pocket for all adults has never been so hard in modern memory.

We concentrate on the steps you can take, that maybe you're too scared to take, that you haven't felt able to as you had no belief or support.

We can all reinvent, the resources are there for us to do it, it's finding the bravery and the niche, taking calculated risk for satisfying gain, growth or safety.

Ever wondered if you could have an instant erase button for the stuff that trips out your mouth ? Or if you could unhear what others say in your presence or that is directed at you ? Learning how to speak to others in a kind and considerate manner is a life skill. Learning to have the conversations NOW that matter is something we will all have to consider the weight of. If you don't learn that lesson you end up with regrets that last a lifetime.

Be nice, be heard, help others, educate, cosset and cherish the emotions that matter, and remember we only get one life.

This is a one off special recorded in 2017 but re-released to celebrate living with autism and ASD and those who care for, love and celebrate those with special powers. This episode was originally downloaded 103k times between 2017 and 2023 on another show from our stable. It is, however, extremely powerful radio that talks about living with autism, the differences that make us stronger, the challenges and society.

Recorded with the best podcast co-host I ever had the pleasure of putting a microphone in front of who was a consumate broadcaster, a total natural who could and should have ended up at Voxiferi. Voxiferi is created because she always made me feel like I could do anything if I put my mind to it. And for that I am forever grateful.

Enjoy - you’ll never hear us talk on-air again.

This is for our children Christopher and William, you made us unique. We love you more than words can ever express. Sorry we fucked up, humans suck. Try always to do better than we did, we didn’t do very well at all, we did try but it wasn’t really ever going to work. We were too different by far and a generation apart. However we did make magic by creating you two and what amazing young men you became. Proud as punch, proudest parents in the galaxy. Listen to us talking sense. We didn’t do it very often….

Loneliness is a major problem that is only now just being afforded the focus it needs from a support perspective. Chronic and situational loneliness, isolation and how to offer solutions and exercises to deal with climbing out of that position are difficult to sometimes comprehend.

We tackle it head on with honesty.

Sometimes we crave acceptance and we crave to be heard. We want to be listened to, but it's equally necessary and important to learn the importance of being able to LISTEN and be HUMBLE.

Living in the moment and understanding that focus is all important, and learning that being able to demonstrate our place in the world is as important as being able to show we can stand back and hear.

We explore how that can work, why it's important and why it's a skill as much as a shield or defence mechanism

Depression was recently described on BBC Radio 4 as a "mood swing", which is about as ridiculous and as insulting as it gets.

To understand ourselves we need to understand how depression affects us, mentally, psychologically, medically and the effect on those around us.

How we present, what other societal impacts that can be isolated to show causal impact and how depression affects our work, our intimacy with others and often our lack of appreciation of those effects.

Listen in and we go on an hour long deep dive...

We are all fragile, complicated and need to assess and re-assess to be able to find our way.

Sometimes we need to reboot and find our happy place we can unwind and climb down from, in private and often, it's the last place we think of.
