6. S1, Ep6. Samantha Grierson on her fantastic audio plays all about autism and her life on the spectrum

Neurodivergence and Mental Health Podcast

Samantha Grierson talks about her series of fabulous audio plays, meltdowns, puppy magic and family.

Samantha has written a series of incredible plays - Crocodile, Mole, Henpire, Kitty and How to Drop a Piano - set across the ages and in different parts of the UK. Discover the wonderful well known actors she chose to star in them, and her own personal stories that they are set around, encompassing the themes of motherhood, LGBT and getting old.

Samantha is autistic and ADHD, seeing herself as both a 'poodle' and a 'lion'. She shares what it is like to live through rolling meltdowns, socially awkward nightmares, food issues, her family of neurodivergents and her separate career as a successful Change Strategist, showing how her different mind blows stigma out of the water. We can all be the best we can be, whatever our diversity.

She shares how she dresses down for black tie events, how her puppy helped her to cope and is learning to be a service dog, exercise, and the vital grounding for her mental health that is Home.
