It’s Valentine’s Day, which got us thinking about relationships – whether that be romantic relationships, friendships, working relationships, and beyond. So what better theme to start series 5 than that very subject?

We really hope you enjoy the first episode: ‘Autism and relationships’.

For anyone new to the podcast, each episode aims to help raise a greater understanding and appreciation of neurodiversity, through fascinating conversations with fantastic guests. Throughout the episodes, we talk about the many benefits of hiring neurodivergent talent, through to some of the more common challenges faced by autistic adults navigating the workplace, plus so much more!

Hosted by late diagnosed autistic broadcaster and campaigner, @carriegrantsays (who is also mum to four neurodivergent children), every episode features inspirational guests from all walks of life, who each share a passion for making the world more inclusive.

In this episode we welcome:

Sef Cavendish: Social media manager at @Hikiapp, the world's largest dating app for autistic people

Ashlea Cromby: Neuroinclusion Advisor at @auticon_uk

And

Dr Emma Svanberg: Clinical psychologist and author of ‘Parenting for Humans’ @mumologist

We loved hearing what they had to say about this subject, with each guest bringing a fresh and varied perspective to a topic that impacts each of us, every single day.
