About This Podcast

Autism Unpacked is a brilliant new podcast for parents, families and carers of autistic children. 

Each episode empowers parents on their journey, sharing helpful information, new thinking, challenging misconceptions and providing clear answers to recurring questions. 

Host, Rosie Gill-Moss, talks to guests who are experts in education and therapeutic support, bringing you jargon-free advice and guidance together with practical, first-hand knowledge, tips and information. It’s a chance to be part of a community keen to share their understanding and lived experiences of what autism means to families. It's also an opportunity to celebrate what makes your child extraordinary. 

Autism Unpacked is brought to you by Options Autism, part of the Outcomes First Group and the UK’s leading provider of educational support for neurodivergent children and young adults from Early Years to FE.

 

Podcast host Rosie Gill-Moss. As a mum of four children, two of whom are proudly neurodivergent, and a neurodivergent woman herself, Rosie’s story is one of an advocate for shared experiences. With an established reputation as a trusted podcast host known for her empathetic and insightful approach, authenticity is always at the heart of every conversation. Rosie's blend of personal experience and professional insight allows her to connect with guests and audience on a profound level, creating podcasts that are engaging, entertaining and honest.
