Description
This episode focuses on the daily struggle to find clothing that our neurodifferent children will tolerate wearing. Mark talks to Steph Curtis, author and parent of two neurodivergent children (both teenagers, diagnosed autistic - one with a strong PDA profile). They swap tales of regular battles with labels and seams, the nightmare of school clothes and their children's preference for being naked - even in the most inappropriate moments.   LINKS TO STUFF WE MENTION IN THIS EPISODE: “PDA in the family” by Steph Curtis - https://amzn.eu/d/1j8KsYi Stephstwogirls on Instagram -www.instagram.com/stephstwogirls Steph Curtis’ blog - www.stephstwogirls.co.uk Bamboo socks - www.sockshop.co.uk/featured/kids-bamboo Crocs - www.crocs.co.uk/c/kids/footwear "Neuroshambles giveaway" shoes (size 3) - www.skechers.co.uk/foamies-guzman-steps---aqua-surge/91995L_BLK.html Skechers - www.skechers.co.uk/kids ASDA sensory school uniform -  https://direct.asda.com/george/collections/easy-on-easy-wear-school/D28M110G1C3,default,sc.html Marks & Spencers sensory clothing - www.marksandspencer.com/l/kids/easy-dressing Sensory Smart Clothing - www.sensorysmart.co.uk Fidget-T - www.comfa.co.uk/product/fidget-t   CONTACT US If you have any feedback about the show, ideas for topics or suggestions for neurodiversity champions you'd like us to give a shout out to, you can email: [email protected]   FOLLOW US Instagram: www.instagram.com/neuroshambles Facebook: www.facebook.com/Neuroshambles Reddit: www.reddit.com/r/Neuroshambles Threads: www.threads.net/@neuroshambles   CREDITS The Neuroshambles theme tune was created by Skilsel on Pixabay: https://pixabay.com/music/beats-energetic-hip-hop-8303/
