This conversation covers the messy, unfiltered reality of parenting a child with complex needs: sleepless nights, sensory overwhelm, the guilt of feeling \"useless\" as a dad, and the system that often leaves families to fight alone. 🧩 In this episode: 📝 The early signs everyone dismissed until they couldn't be ignored 😢 Four months of \"hell\" getting Monroe settled into her SEND school 🚫 Why they made the hard call to pull her out of school entirely 🏡 Their experience with Elective Home Education (EHE) for a child with complex needs 💛 How Monroe is thriving now happier, eating, sleeping, more regulated 👰 Planning a wedding around an autistic child's sensory needs 🗣️ A dad's honest take on grief, guilt, and finally feeling like \"the whole world isn't ending\" If you're a parent navigating a similar diagnosis, an EHCP battle, or wondering whether school is really the right environment for your child this one's for you. 💬 Got a similar story?
