Awareverse Support for Parents of Disabled and Neurodivergent Children

12/05/2026

We do not do it for money.

We do it for the meetings, the emails, the late nights, the forms, the EHCPs, the school battles, and the quiet moments nobody else sees.

We do it because seeing a child feel safe, smile, grow, and believe in themselves is worth more than anything.

Being a dad is not just a title.

It is showing up.
It is fighting their corner.
It is being their safe place.

I’ve been thinking about school uniform rules.

When schools say the wrong shoes, hair, or appearance choices “disrupt learning”, what do people think they actually mean?

Because part of me thinks if a child wants to learn, the shoes on their feet are not the real issue.

But I also wonder whether the more controlled schools become, the more some children push back. Then it stops being about learning and becomes about compliance, power, and control.

Where is the right balance?

Do strict appearance rules help schools run better, or do they sometimes create more conflict than they solve?

Genuinely interested in people’s views.

We’re expanding Awareverse.

We’re still actively working on AwareAsk and AwareCub, but we’re also starting to build something new alongside them.

It’s called AwareSignal.

The idea is simple:

Turn invisible signals into something people can see, understand, and learn from.

We’re building a small home radio observatory that can receive real signals from satellites, aircraft, weather systems, and space related sources. The goal is to turn those signals into images, live data, simple explanations, and educational content.

This is not just about technology.

It is about curiosity.
It is about learning by doing.
It is about making science feel accessible.
It is about helping children, families, and curious minds understand that the world around us is full of things we cannot normally see.

Awareverse is growing step by step:

AwareAsk
AwareCub
AwareSignal

All with the same aim:

Explore more.
Understand more.
Teach more.
Support more.

The sky is not the limit.
It is just the beginning.

I’ve started building something a bit different.

It’s called AwareSignal.

In simple terms, it’s a small home radio observatory. It uses antennas and software to receive real signals from the sky, including satellites, aircraft, and hopefully space based signals too.

The aim is to turn invisible radio waves into something people can actually see and understand.

Things I’m working towards:

Receiving real satellite images of Earth
Tracking aircraft signals
Listening for space signals like Jupiter radio bursts
Showing it all through Awareverse in a simple, calm, educational way

It’s early days, but it’s already starting to work.

The first big goal is simple:

Catch a signal from a satellite
Decode it
Turn it into an image from space

This is the kind of real world science I want Awareverse to grow into. Curious, accessible, and something children and families can look at and think, “that came from space.”

I’m having a bit of a rethink with the Awareverse shop and would genuinely like people’s thoughts.

The books and guides are starting to reach people around the world now, which is amazing. The shop did really well before Christmas, but since then it has gone very quiet.

I think part of the issue is there may be too much choice.

So I’m thinking of scaling the shop right back and making it more focused around proper support bundles, such as:

Sensory calm boxes
Bedtime support boxes
Fidget focus packs
Emotional regulation kits
School routine support packs

Instead of loads of separate items, the idea would be to make it easier for parents to find something that actually fits what they need.

So I’d love to know:

Would support bundles be more useful than lots of individual items?

What kind of bundles would help your child or family most?

Sleep?
Anxiety?
School?
Meltdowns?
Sensory overload?
Focus?
Emotional regulation?

I want Awareverse to stay practical, affordable and actually useful, not just become another online shop full of random stuff.

Any honest thoughts or ideas would really help.

A proper Awareverse update.

Things are not just moving now, they are starting to prove themselves.

We have now sold **31 books across 49 titles** since mid March. That might not sound massive to some people, but for something built from nothing, it matters.

What matters more is where they have gone.

United Kingdom
United States
Ireland
Australia

That tells me one thing clearly. This is not just local. This is reaching people who need it.

Some of the strongest support so far has come from:

Helping Your Child Through Anxiety and Overwhelm
Nobody Told Me This
Breathing and Grounding for Children

That lines up exactly with what parents are struggling with right now.

At the same time, we are building something bigger behind the scenes.

The new **AI support page**.

This is where things change.

Instead of scrolling through loads of pages, trying to work out what applies, you will be able to type something simple like:

“My child is not sleeping”
“School is not helping”
“My child is overwhelmed”

And Awareverse will do the work for you.

It will pull together the right support, the right guides, the right books, and the right next steps in one place.

No digging.
No guessing.
No overload.

Just real help, straight away.

Awareverse is still small. I am not pretending otherwise.

But it is growing.
It is reaching people.
And it is starting to do exactly what it was built to do.

Real support.
Plain English.
No judgement.

Built from lived experience, not theory.

And we are only just getting started.

Small but genuinely massive moment for Awareverse today.

I checked my book sales and Awareverse books have now sold in the UK, Ireland, and Australia.

They are not random books either. They are guides about autistic shutdown, autistic social fatigue, and breathing and grounding support for children.

That means a lot to me because these books were created to help real families, real parents, carers, schools, and children understand things that are often hard to explain.

Awareverse now has a growing collection of practical guides and children’s stories covering autism, ADHD, anxiety, overwhelm, sensory overload, school struggles, bedtime, emotional regulation, EHCPs, and more.

It is still growing, but seeing the books reach people in different countries is a proper reminder that this work matters.

Just had a lovely little moment today.

One of my Awareverse books has sold in Australia.

It might only be one sale, but to me it means a lot. It means these books are reaching people outside the UK, and that the things I write about are connecting with people in other places too.

The book that sold was about autistic social fatigue, which is something so many people understand but often struggle to explain.

Awareverse is growing slowly, but it is growing.

I’ve applied for the Parent Governor role at Sandringham Primary School.

It’s a voluntary role about supporting the school at a strategic level and helping represent the parent community.

Voting is now open for parents and carers through the school form.

Most people don’t realise this…The system is full of gaps. Support is inconsistent. Parents are left guessing. Kids are misunderstood. That’s exactly why I built this. awareverse.co.uk/books These aren’t “nice little guides ”. They’re real tools, written from lived experience, from fighting the system, from sitting in meetings where you realise no one actually understands your child.EHCP supports the SEND law broken down properly. Emotional needs explained in plain English. Stuff schools should already know… but don’t. And then there’s something even more important. Not everything comes from adults. One of the stories on there… was written by my daughter Nora.“The Day That Would Not Sit Still” It’s her day. Her thoughts.Her feelings.The way her mind moves, the way the world feels when it’s too loud, too fast, too much. No filters. No rewriting. Just her. And I’ll be honest…I think a lot of people will see their own child in it. Or themselves.Because this isn’t theory. This is real life. If you’ve ever thought: “Why is everything such a battle?”“Why doesn’t anyone listen?”“Why does my child struggle so much with things others find easy?” Start here. awareverse.co.uk/books This is what Awareverse is about. Not awareness for the sake of it.Actual understanding.Actual change.
