One in Ten Boys.
That’s how many are now on the NDIS.
As a psychologist, I’ve seen the shift firsthand. I used to deliver autism diagnoses with care - parents were shocked, tearful, needing support. Now? If I don’t give the diagnosis, they’re upset.
We are pathologising childhood at scale, and an entire industry has formed around it. It’s time to talk about the uncomfortable truth: the NDIS is being misused, diagnoses are being stretched, and children are paying the price.

Very pleased and proud that the last few months of research work was launched today - my report on the increase in climate anxiety in children and the role that our education curriculum plays in teaching alarmist and developmentally inappropriate information to our kids.
Thank you to the for your support in this and giving a voice and platform to this issue!
Every parent needs to know about this.

When therapy becomes a litigation strategy, the child stops being the client, and becomes the evidence. This webinar will challenge the automatic use of therapy in high-conflict families and equip you with clinically sound, defensible alternatives.

💡 What you’ll take away:
• The risks of child-led narratives in therapy
• How to stay in your clinical lane (not forensic)
• Developmentally appropriate alternatives to therapy

📎 Includes red-flag checklist + CPD certificate
🎥 Replay available to all who register

💔The Liberal - National breakup is official and as a family law psychologist, I’ve seen this kind of split before.
Passive-aggressive pressers, no clear parenting plan, and the voters (aka the kids) left eating microwave dinners while Mum and Dad fight over net zero.

This week on The Rowe Report - Have you subscribed yet??
The push for a more accommodating and accepting world for neurodivergent individuals, those with autism, ADHD, and other neurodevelopmental differences, is a long-overdue shift. Schools should be flexible, workplaces should be more understanding, and environments should foster genuine inclusion.
However, as with many social movements, the pendulum may have swung too far. The emerging dominant narrative within psychology, particularly the neuroaffirming movement, risks setting neurodivergent individuals up for failure.

Tuesday morning on The Rowe Report - have you subscribed yet?
Last week, the Family Court delivered a judgment that should send shockwaves through every children’s gender clinic in the country. Not because of politics. Not because of ideology. But because, finally, someone in authority stood up and said: “Where is the science?”
This isn’t a case about denying a child care. It’s a case about demanding better care. Slower care. Care that doesn’t presume that distress automatically equals gender dysphoria, and that gender dysphoria must automatically lead to medical transition.

Don’t wait for a crisis. Your involvement today can prevent tomorrow’s tragedy.
Watching "Adolescence" is revelation. It forces us to confront the reality that no parent can assume their teen’s world is safe. The series digs deep into the pressures that modern youth face; cyberbullying, identity crises and radical online subcultures.
Get involved in your child’s online life. Ask them what they’re watching, who they’re talking to, and make sure you’re not just a bystander. Set practical boundaries and encourage real-life interactions. Don’t wait for a crisis to start the conversation; prevention is always better than cure.
