🤯 Exposed: Failing Social Services: Social Worker Interview - PDA Dad UK

👩‍⚕The Social Services system is broken. There is a lack of understanding about Neurodiversity, and the default attitude is to use parent blame before actually supporting our kids.

📺 In this episode I talk a qualified social worker who is also a parent to an autistic son. Wishing to remain anonymous, she goes into detail about the faults she sees in the current system, including the lack of training and support for social workers.

🚼 This very revealing interview highlights the need for radical change in the current social services system.

This is a powerful and necessary conversation. Addressing the shortcomings in the social services system, especially concerning neurodiversity, is crucial for creating a more inclusive and supportive environment for children and families. The insights from someone with firsthand experience as both a social worker and a parent of an autistic child can shed light on areas for improvement and help advocate for much-needed changes.

🌈 Welcome to PDA Dad UK, your dedicated space for understanding Autism, Pathological Demand Avoidance, and the broader spectrum of neurodiversities. 🌈

In this channel, we unravel not just the 'what' but the 'who' behind these conditions. While the terms Autism and PDA are commonly recognized, true understanding is often lacking, and that’s where this channel comes in.
➡️ Our mission is to fill this gap, promoting a culture of acceptance and heightened awareness. We journey through the complex realms of autism, addressing various facets such as Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD), ADHD, Mental Health, and more.

Behind this channel is a devoted father of a wonderful daughter with Autism and PDA, embracing the highs and lows of neurodiverse parenting. This platform reflects my life—a fusion of personal narratives, shared experiences, and informative content.
➡️ Beyond just sharing, I hold roles that connect me deeper into this community, serving as a Carer's Ambassador for Devon Carers, an Ambassador Volunteer for DiAS, and an Ambassador for the PDA Society.
Every video is a heart-to-heart conversation, a professional insight, or a beacon of enlightenment on the nuances of neurodiversity. This channel is for those seeking knowledge, comfort in communal experiences, or engagement with a like-minded, passionate audience.
