Episode Three

Autism. Managing mental health is already a daily struggle, but what if you had to do it with the added pressure of a neurodevelopmental disorder? We talk to Matthew Trerise, a support worker who specialises in helping people with behavioural challenges - including autism. Matthew clarifies a few myths about autism/Asperger syndrome and explains how an understanding of the condition relates to wider mental health issues.

 

 

Also:

• Andrew's had a tough week, and shares a unique coping strategy.

• Tim gushes about how music - particularly The Beatles - helps him manage his mood.

• Why art is great.

Simpsons references: 0. (We did have two last week, so we're allowed a week off.)
