A Special Understanding with parent Treacy Devlin

November 18, 2021 • Lou Kuchel • Season 2021 • Episode 23

This really is "A Special Understanding". It's an understanding of Treacy and everything she's been through in her life from years of mis-diagnosis and all that comes with that, of the trauma, fear and challenges of single parenting a neurodivergent child when you don't understand your own neurology. It's the revelation when the penny drops. It's fierce advocacy at school and in the world in general. It's the special understanding and special relationship between a son and his mum. A really heartfelt lived experience episode. Enjoy!
