E21 Navigating Autism, Work & Relationships with Ash Connaughton
Manage episode 362716773 series 3255913
In the last few years, we have been learning about neuro - divergence including Autism and ADHD in our own family. I knew of Ash as an up-and-coming film maker in the Midlands and saw him post that he was neuro-divergent and that he was into Airsoft and thought I would love to interview him to learn more about his experience growing up with Autism. My son is also massively into Nerf guns and thought it would be cool to invite Ash over to do the podcast and also to bring his Airsoft guns so we could have a go in the garden. I also wanted to introduce my son to someone with Autism who is doing well in something they love.
