What my son's journey with autism has taught me about inclusion

In this episode of The Human Inclusion Podcast, Paul Anderson-Walsh from Enolla Consulting (formally The Centre for Inclusive Leadership) interviews Natalie Venturini, Head of Marketing at Stanton House. 

Natalie compassionately recounts her journey as a mother to a young boy diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), shedding light on the daily hurdles they face.

She emphasises the toll that adhering to societal norms takes on individuals with neurodevelopmental conditions like her son, urging for greater tolerance, empathy, and adaptability.

Her son's journey has profoundly shaped her understanding of inclusion, and this episode offers valuable insights for both parents and employers alike. Watch the full episode here!
