In our 121st episode of Beyond the Bump, we chat with Annie, a disabled, Autistic lawyer who has ADHD, dyslexia, and dysgraphia. 

Trigger warning! We touch on eating disorders and suicidal ideation in this episode!!!

  • What is neurodiversity? And when is someone classified a neurodivergent?
  • What is person-first vs identity-first language? And why do a lot of Autistic adults not like person-first language?

  • What is one of the biggest reasons why girls and women with Autism go undiagnosed?
  • What are Annie’s thoughts on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) as a treatment option for autism? 
  • What is a ‘refrigerator mum’ and why did they blame these mum’s for having Autistic kids in the past?
  • What are some typical Autistic traits? And what should you do if you’re undiagnosed and think you may have it?
  • What is interoception and proprioception? And why is interoception very common for autistic adults?
  • Did Annie have any reservations about becoming a mother?
  • The likelihood of Autistic women developing pre-natal and post-natal depression. 
  • The ramifications of the lack of understanding, diagnosis, support, and acceptance when it comes to neurodivergent people.

This episode of Beyond the Bump is brought to you by Nutura Organic:

Now Sophie, you will be excited about today’s sponsor considering you are raising a dairy Queen!
 
Oh yes! Darling Goldie, would happily live off milk, butter and yoghurt if we let her!
 
Now has she tried Nutura Organic and what was her verdict?

Yes, Nutura Organic is one of her absolute favourites  - *chef’s kiss* from Goldie! And I love it too cause it has 16 vitamins and minerals and is made with Fresh Australian, organic milk giving you guaranteed goodness in every tin!

Yeah we loved using powdered toddler milk when Yumi was Goldie’s age as it's super easy to make, lasts longer and you can take it with you in containers and it doesn’t curdle... the list goes on!
 
Yeah you don’t want to be stuck anywhere with Goldie and no milk, let me tell you that for free!
 
We aren’t the only ones who are keen on it though, Nutura Organic was just awarded the No 1 toddler milk brand by Australian Parents on ProductReview.com.au
 
Sounds like Goldie’s not the only one who loves it!

Yep, head to nutura.com.au to find out more about their Fresh Milk Difference and why everyone loves it!!
