Getting out the front door can feel like a military operation when you’re parenting autistic, ADHD or PDA kids. Comedian Hatty Ashdown joins Mark to talk about how something so basic becomes so complicated.
They swap stories about endless distractions, sensory meltdowns and the sheer unpredictability of transitions.
Hatty shares the small wins and epic fails she’s had trying to leave the house with her kids, and Mark offers tips he’s picked up (usually the hard way).
Funny, chaotic, and reassuringly honest – this episode is as a must for anyone who’s ever felt like they deserve a medal just for getting to Tesco.
