Autism Dadcast: Ep 12 — “Three Kids, Two Hours’ Sleep & One Rare Chromosome: Chris’s Story”
About this episode
<p>This week Gaz and Andy finally sit down with fellow autism-dad <strong>Chris</strong>—the guest who famously got stuck in Cardiff last month. He’s juggling three children under five, a 5-year-old son (Kit) with <strong>profound autism </strong><em><strong>and</strong></em><strong> mosaic Patau syndrome (mosaic trisomy 13)</strong>, and the kind of sleep schedule that would scare a Navy SEAL. Expect honesty, gallows humour and a ton of practical hacks.</p>
