About Autism Help
Autism Help is a podcast exploring the co-occurring conditions, daily challenges, and practical realities that shape the lives of Autistic people and those who support them.
Hosted by Heather McKay (she/they) — a late-diagnosed Autistic mother of two, educator, company director, and author of Autism: The Big Book Set of Help — the series provides honest, neuroaffirming information about topics that are often overlooked, misunderstood, or poorly explained by mainstream services.
Drawing on lived experience, years of facilitating support groups, and extensive research, Heather explores subjects including ARFID, executive dysfunction, sleep disorders, fibromyalgia, incontinence, literacy, and supporting multiply-disabled children. Each episode aims to provide practical knowledge, reduce isolation, and help listeners better understand the realities of Autistic life beyond the diagnostic criteria.
Whether you're Autistic yourself, a parent, educator, support worker, or healthcare professional, Autism Help offers accessible, evidence-informed conversations grounded in both expertise and lived experience.
Produced for the Autistic Culture Podcast Network.
