Welcome to the second half of our conversation with Meaghan Ray.

This one begins with us speaking about the interplay between autism and ADHD, particularly in terms of executive functioning.

Meaghan Ray shares some specific areas of executive functioning which pose challenges for them in relation to parenting. Siana and Meaghan Ray discuss some of their experiences as parents, noting the widespread lack of support for autistic parents caring for autistic children (regardless of whether either parent or child are identified as autistic). We also talk about navigating different sensory profiles with the family.

Finally, Meaghan Ray delights us with their chainmaille and through this illustrates their metaphorical understanding of the melding and integration of the strands of their identity. Video in the shownotes!
