Sharing the Spectrum: An Autism Canada Podcast
Health & Fitness
Bruce Petherick, neurodiverse musician and adult-diagnosed autistic, shares his thoughts on being a parent on the spectrum. As well, he introduces us to his daughter Kayleigh and they openly discuss her neurodiversity (ADHD) and their relationship as neurodiverse parent and child.
This engaging conversation between a father and daughter is not only heart-warming but is also funny, sweet and full of great information for autistics and their families.
Thanks to Bruce and Kayleigh for sharing such intimate and personal parts of their lives with us!
