Tom and Laura - Points of Advice:

There is nothing wrong with Autism.
Education and awareness are imperative.
Ask questions until you get answers. Don’t give up.
Find a community to support you, your child, and your family. You are not alone.
Embrace the uniqueness of your children and allow them to be themselves. Everyone is different - some people are just more different than others.
In times when life and the world feel out of sorts, remember to focus on the thoughts and actions that you can control. You are the master of your own house.
For families struggling with questions about a child's behavior or development, please seek advice from a pediatrician or behavioral specialist.

About Autism Spectrum Disorder: Autism Spectrum Disorder - Autism, or autism spectrum disorder (ASD), refers to a broad range of conditions characterized by challenges with social skills, repetitive behaviors, speech and nonverbal communication.

"Disobedient Bodies" with Emma Dabiri Oct 02, 2020

Show notes

Join us as we speak with Emma Dabiri, activist, educator, researcher, and author of Don’t Touch My Hair (UK) / Twisted (US), which explores the ways in which black hair has been appropriated and stigmatized throughout history.

We also touch upon a myriad of other topics including feminism, health and diet culture, beauty stereotypes, patriarchal norms, neoliberalism, COVID, and societal reform.

About Emma Dabiri - Emma Dabiri is a regular presenter on BBC and contributor for The Guardian. She is a teaching fellow in the Africa department at SOAS and a Visual Sociology PhD researcher at Goldsmiths. Her writing has been published in a number of anthologies, academic journals, and the national press. She lives in London.

About Don’t Touch My Hair: Don’t Touch My Hair - Straightened. Stigmatised. 'Tamed'. Celebrated. Erased. Managed. Appropriated. Forever misunderstood. Black hair is never 'just hair'. This book is about why black hair matters. Emma Dabiri takes us from pre-colonial Africa, through the Harlem Renaissance, Black Power and on to today's Natural Hair Movement, the Cultural Appropriation Wars and beyond. We look at everything from hair capitalists like Madam C.J. Walker in the early 1900s to the rise of Shea Moisture today, from women's solidarity and friendship to 'black people time', forgotten African scholars and the dubious provenance of Kim Kardashian's braids. The scope of black hairstyling ranges from pop culture to cosmology, from prehistoric times to the (afro)futuristic. Uncovering sophisticated indigenous mathematical systems in black hairstyles, alongside styles that served as secret intelligence networks leading enslaved Africans to freedom, Don't Touch My Hair proves that far from being only hair , black hairstyling culture can be understood as an allegory for black oppression and, ultimately, liberation.

Food, glorious food! We all have our favorites, but do we truly consider how the things we consume play a role in our current health or our future wellness? In this episode, we interview Kirk Haworth, co-founder and executive chef of Plates London, a high-end restaurant that highlights how versatile plant-based cuisine can be, both on and off the plate. Kirk shares the struggles he endured while living with undiagnosed Lyme Disease and how he reclaimed authority over his health journey.

About Kirk Haworth: Kirk Haworth leads the kitchen at Plates London with unparalleled passion, inspired by his personal journey in food and 16 years perfecting his craft in Michelin-starred restaurants around the world. After winning the North West Young Chef of the Year award at 17, Kirk went on to work under the world's top chefs at The French Laundry, Restaurant Sat Bains, The Square, The Quay and Northcote. In 2016, a diagnosis with Lyme Disease led him to overhaul his lifestyle and explore a plant-based diet in pursuit of health. After discovering that an anti-inflammatory diet without meat, gluten, refined sugar or dairy reduced the intensity of his symptoms - the Plates food ethos was born. “Plates now follows my personal journey, a chef’s journey into 100% plant-based eating and cooking.” His unique perspective nurtures a rare working environment for his team that focuses on balance and well-being, without compromising on taste or creativity. Taking all that nature has to offer, he delivers modern, plant-based food with high-end execution. With a focus on sustainability for people and the planet, Kirk is now becoming a leading figure in British plant-based cookery and is spear-heading a mission to improve chef’s wellness in the wider industry. “Sustainability is not just about the earth, the food or the ingredients - it’s about people, and creating a lifestyle that’s sustainable for all of us to coexist in good health.”
