## Resource

In this deeply emotional episode, Carly opens up about her journey raising her son Barney from the early signs of autism and delayed communication, to the terrifying reality of seizures and navigating a world that often doesn’t understand children with additional needs. Carly shares the grief, fear, guilt and love that comes with parenting a non-verbal autistic child, including the moment she realised Barney wasn’t developing like other children, the challenges of mainstream school, and the heartbreaking experience of witnessing his first seizure at just nine years old. This episode is an honest conversation about autism, epilepsy, SEN parenting, and the emotional realities families face behind closed doors. It’s raw, eye-opening and incredibly powerful.
