Home Truths, Dare & Promise!

  • Unforgotten - Housing on the Spectrum, a sibling's story

    26 JAN 2023 · This is an intensely personal episode, my conversation with someone I have known since she was about 4 years old. She is a remarkable sibling who decided to ask uncomfortable questions and share her own home truths, in a very personal, yet public way. She wanted to 'stand up' and talk frankly about the future, and housing options for her non-verbal autistic brother. Morgan discusses the research and interviews that led her to create a short radio documentary Stuck In The Nest and our conversation includes extracts from the recordings she made.

  • My home truths - why I made this

    3 NOV 2022 · Eavesdrop on snippets of my conversations with some of the podcast's contributors, and hear my audio diary about why I made this podcast about some home truths around the complex and vexed subject of 'living arrangements' faced by thousands and thousands of people who are often treated as, 'less than' by society and have little voice in where or how they live their lives. My passion is advocating within the autism and IDD community. Alongside people who have developmental and intellectual disabilities campaigning for change, I know we can do different. My dream is that truly accessible, more affordable, and neuro-inclusive housing options emerge everywhere. I am sharing this podcast series to inspire collaborations and conversations in this space around the movement for better supportive housing opportunities and accessibility.
