A podcast all about empowering kids and the adults who raise them, care for them and teach them. Through making connections, sharing, and learning together.
This podcast is for all those parents who want their children to thrive, to succeed and simply not to have to struggle with what seems to come so easily to other kids their age. It is for anyone caring for a child with any range or level of additional needs.
I will share my own tips, tricks, strategies, hacks, rants and moans for achieving greater connection in your life.
Aniesa completed her degree in Occupational Therapy at the University of Stellenbosch, in South Africa. She has since been focusing on paediatrics and sensory processing and integration. She has worked across a range of paediatric fields and has extensive experience in autism, specific learning difficulties, as well as anxiety and emotional regulation. Aniesa has one teenaged son with autism, and one with sensory difficulties. She herself was diagnosed at a late age as having ADHD and has found that understanding her neurodivergence has led to greater connection with children and their parents.

Aniesa explores the reasons behind camouflaging, which has three categories: compensation, masking and assimilation. Aniesa talks about what these can look like, why so many neurodivergent people feel the need to camouflage and talks about how we can demystify and educate everyone on camouflaging.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
BEST MOMENTS
"We’re really talking about changing our natural personalities so that we can fit”
“I like the idea of camouflaging as a word as it’s a really strong tactic”
“The consequences of camouflaging are huge, they are so detrimental”
“When you’re compensating you’re trying to keep up with others socially but when your masking you’re hiding key aspects of yourself, just so you can fit in”
“We all mask every single day”
