Marie Martin never imagined she'd become a fierce advocate for her autistic son, Zach, but life had other plans. J
oin us as Marie reveals her transformative journey from a telecommunications professional to a warrior mom, equipped with a wealth of knowledge about autism, ADHD, and co-occurring conditions.
You'll gain invaluable insights from her experiences, including the hurdles she and her family face due to Zach's demand avoidant profile and severe anxiety.
The episode takes a critical look at the systemic flaws within the UK's Children and Families Act 2014, particularly its impact on Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND).
Marie unpacks the deficiencies in professional training and accountability, as well as the pressures placed on local authorities through initiatives like "safety valves."
Hear a poignant personal story that underscores the desperate need for better resources and independent support systems, advocating for a more inclusive and effective educational landscape.
But Marie's advocacy doesn't stop at education. Learn about Zach's incredible journey into the workforce, where despite his talents and glowing testimonials from companies like National Grid and Morrison's Energy, he faced significant challenges.
Marie's relentless efforts in fighting for neurodivergent employment opportunities, including going to the press and harnessing the power of social media, emphasize the urgent need for systemic change.
As the episode concludes, we call upon our listeners to join forces in spreading the message that no one should face these struggles alone.
