Ever found yourself deep-diving into a topic your child loves so much they could write a PhD on it? In this episode, Liam Mullone joins Mark to explore the beauty, brilliance and occasional bafflement of special interests in neurodivergent children.
They unpick everything from trains and gaming to unexpected hyperfixations, and how these passions can be both a source of joy and tension at home. Liam shares funny and moving stories about his son, while Mark reflects on how special interests can build connection - or cause conflict.
This episode is ideal for parents trying to understand what drives their neurodivergent children, and how to support (or survive) their latest obsession. It’s a brilliant listen for anyone after an ADHD parenting podcast with honesty and humour.
If you’re parenting autistic, PDA or ADHD children, you’ll find validation and laughs in equal measure here.
