Episode 8 of the Foundations podcast is out now! The lovely Alt AUDHD Erin Fung talks about autism, identity and her journey of being diagnosed autistic later in life.

Erin speaks openly about growing up not knowing she was autistic. This is a beautifully honest and relatable insight, and offers reassurance for anyone exploring neurodiversity, seeking assessment or supporting someone else navigating a late autism diagnosis.

Can you relate to Erin’s story?

January doesn’t have to be about big resolutions. Small, kind changes can make a real difference to how families feel.

Simple ways to create a calmer environment this month:
• Create space for open communication
You don’t have to fix everything — sometimes just listening helps people feel safe, seen, and heard.
• Lower expectations
With the new year comes pressure to set big resolutions. Remember: “good enough” and realistic intentions are more than enough.
• Rebuild routines
Familiar, simple routines can bring a sense of comfort, stability, and calm.
• Try regular emotional check-ins
Gently ask if they’d like to share how they’re feeling. They may not always want to — but knowing you’re ready to listen matters.
• Ask for support early
Support doesn’t have to wait for a crisis. Counselling or therapy can provide tools to navigate challenges before they feel overwhelming.

We’re one week into the new year — and if you’re already feeling behind, you’re not failing.
New Year’s resolutions often come with pressure: Be better. Do more. Don’t mess up.

Why intentions beat resolutions for mental health:⭐
Intentions start somewhere kinder. They focus on how you want to feel, not how perfectly you perform — leaving room for rest, flexibility, and real life. Being kind to yourself is not giving up, it is protecting your wellbeing.

This year, you don’t need to fix yourself. You can simply choose how you want to show up.
