From Discovery to Understanding: Children Talk Autism With Their Mums

In the latest episode of the TWS Sports Podcast, we bring you a truly special and emotional conversation as we welcome two very important guests — Tina and Kirsty, the mums of our incredible hosts, Alyssa and Daniel. Over the years, Alyssa and Daniel have been at the heart of the podcast, sharing their passion, energy, and unique perspectives with our listeners. This time, they had the opportunity to turn the tables and interview their own parents, diving deep into their personal journeys with autism.
Tina and Kirsty share their experiences of how Alyssa and Daniel’s diagnoses came about, what those early days were like, and how their understanding of autism has evolved over time. It’s an honest and moving discussion, filled with laughter, heartfelt memories, and powerful reflections. Together, they explore the challenges and celebrations that come with navigating life on the autism spectrum — both from the perspective of young people and from that of parents learning and growing alongside them.
This episode is thought-provoking, emotional, and full of warmth. It shines a light on the importance of family support, understanding, and acceptance, and offers valuable insights for anyone wanting to deepen their awareness of autism.
