As a 43 year old man with Quadriplegic Cerebral Palsy I found this episode fascinating! Well done to both of you and huge respect, strength and love to Conor! 👏🏻💪🏻❤️
What an amazing hour-honestly what a guy and you 2 just know exactly how to act and react and find humour like only the Irish can. Your honesty is what makes this podcast the best. Thankyou to you all ❤
Loved this episode, as a special needs parent myself it was really nice to hear someone else speak on their experience and be honest about how hard life is! Great guest! Love the podcast ❤
As a parent of 4 myself, this podcast was a walk down memory lane! That limbo between age 3-5 where a child has no diagnosis, no statement and no right to support together with no one who can even offer advice never mind an explanation as to why and feeling 100% lost and alone, to the point I once considered returning one of my children to the Ulster Hospital as I was not qualified or equipped to deal with the additional needs my child had! I had no idea Conor had a daughter with SN but he was so articulate and covered all the feelings a parent experiences, Conor please do a podcast based on Rubys journey, it would help so many people! It’s only now 10yrs later than I’m able to openly laugh at how my SN son always chose to shit in my shoes rather than a toilet. I secretly had to laugh back then because no one else would discuss it as it was too riske and people were scared of offending, when realistically the only thing I needed back then was someone to laugh with me and accept that yes it wasn’t ideal having a turd in my shoe but if I didn’t laugh what was the alternative 🤷🏼♀️ Keep raising the awareness and laughing as it’s genuinely a comfort to us parents of SN kids! Ruby sounds amazing and an entire bundle of laughs that will always see her through the tough times ❤❤

Such good questions. Proper openness from Conor and the questions you want to ask when ever thinking about having kids!
Really great ep, honest and informative. Respect to you all :)
