Katie and Matt Baker

Katie and Matt chat about the joys and challenges of their neurodiverse marriage and the things they wish they had known when Matt was diagnosed. The podcast is uncut so you can hear a proper conversation between us, real authentic NT/ND communication.

Episode 3

Something a bit different this month. This is a video we made for our local authority for autism acceptance week. Enjoy and we’ll be back with our usual content next month.

Episode 2

In this episode we discuss the clinical definitions of autism and ADHD and talk about some of the real life effects of being autistic and having ADHD. We discuss terminology and how you are always best to ask the individual how they like to describe themselves. This episode shows some beautiful examples of how Matt can change track in the middle of a conversation and how Katie has learnt to fill in the gaps he likes to leave in communication when it is just too hard.

Episode 1

We introduce each other and chat about how we think our neurodiversity has affected our relationship, about grief after diagnosis and give a flavour of what’s to come. It takes us a bit of time to warm up – notice how Matt’s flow changes as he talks about things that he is passionate about and how Katie is really nervous to start with!
