Neurodiversity is an umbrella term which refers to understanding the diversity of all human brains, and the way in which we interact with the world. Often the variation is within behavioural traits that diversifies us from each other, and thankfully society is coming to a place of realising that it’s not a deficit to be neurodivergent, simply difference between one person to another. That being said, it’s taken too long for us to get to this understanding, and we still have a way to go. Thankfully for women like Madonna King , an Award Winning Journalist who has previously covered many areas including education around teen girls and their emotional and physical development, and Rebecca Sparrow - acclaimed Writer, Columnist and Public Speaker who raises awareness and advocates for teen friendship education and teen emotional development, both came together and combined powers to bring information, resources and spotlight the widely prevalent yet still misunderstood conditions that fall within the umbrella term of Neurodiversity. Both leaders in this area who are driven with personal passion and have dedicated their careers in covering children and teens development, have collated and created the book titled “Out of the Box”, as a call to action but also a one stop guide, for those like Rebecca, who wished back when her own child was diagnosed with Autism, that this type of information was available to navigate the unknown and overwhelm of a new diagnosis. As we learn in this book, and through listening to Rebecca and Madonna, knowledge is power when it comes to truly understanding who you are and how you are built to function. Knowing and understanding, can make those that feel different to the neurotypical, feel less alone and in fact, help the neurodivergent use it as their superpower.

Rebecca opens up about her unique journey from a communications role to becoming an influential author and speaker. With personal stories of social awkwardness and introversion, she shares invaluable insights into nurturing meaningful connections, especially for neurodivergent children, drawn from her latest book, "Out of the Box." Her experiences reveal how we can build stronger communities and combat the growing loneliness epidemic among young adults.Rebecca's candid reflections on her unexpected career path offer listeners a glimpse into her life-altering moments, including a spontaneous marriage and impactful high school speaking engagements. These experiences inspired her to write non-fiction books on resilience and happiness for young people and host dynamic webinars that equip tweens, teens, and adults with essential friendship skills. Her practical strategies for making friends, handling social challenges, and setting boundaries are not only eye-opening but also resonate deeply with adolescents, providing them with tools to navigate their social landscapes.This episode also tackles the critical topic of inclusivity in schools. Rebecca provides practical advice for parents seeking truly inclusive educational environments for their children, emphasizing the importance of evaluating schools beyond their marketing promises. By sharing stories from her book "Out of the Box," co-authored with Madonna King, she highlights the need for accessible resources for neurodivergent families. Join us as we celebrate the triumph of connection and look forward to exciting future discussions that promise to deepen our understanding of friendship and community.https://rebeccasparrow.com/https://www.booktopia.com.au/out-of-the-box-rebecca-sparrow/book/9780702268779.html?srsltid=AfmBOoqDGyMCUVDOn85_KnuUJ3iD4f91rwctT1u1rGmnQ-U7WHRTnmuX0bI danabaltutis.com, mytherapyhouse.com.au, https://mytherapyhouse.com.au/your-childs-therapy-journey/ https://www.danabaltutis.com/services

With special guest: Madonna King… in conversation with Bill Kable The book by Madonna King L Platers is a fascinating sequel to her previous book Being 14. Something happens to young girls between the ages of 14 and 18 and all parents need to get an insight as to what to expect and what to be concerned about. We live in times where the word “unprecedented” has almost been worn out by over usage. But how else to describe these times when for the first time in history we are living through a worldwide pandemic? Covid 19 has limited the usual social interaction and forced many to start living a huge part of their lives online which creates its own problems. Not only is this unprecedented but it is happening when so many choices have to be made in comparison to simpler times. When a personal discussion is called for, parents are likely to be called to centre stage for many of these decisions. The good news is that Madonna has for the purposes of this book interviewed over 1000 teenagers, parents, teachers and medical experts to find out what the effect of these times is on this age group and to make recommendations on what parents should be doing. And there are a few surprises along the way as we hear from Madonna. Podcast (mp3)

The crime of sextortion has reached epidemic proportions, fuelled by both sex offenders and organised scammers targeting our most vulnerable online. Children are some of the internet's most prolific and most naive users, and increasing numbers are finding themselves caught in an evil web of networked manipulators.Up to 70 percent of all new sexual exploitation content online is victim-produced, and much of it follows the same script and the abuser then blackmails their victim - for money or for more content. It's a script well-known to Detective Inspector Jon Rouse, who, for three decades, headed up Taskforce Argos, the expert arm of Queensland Police dedicated to hunting down online predators and rescuing children from abuse. In collaboration with Rouse, Madonna King tells the story of their investigations, from undercover cases to operations on a global scale, exploring what makes a victim and what makes an abuser, and distils the work that goes into bringing down perpetrators.In this episode Gregory Dobbs chats to Madonna King about how 'sextortion' works and why it differs between boys and girls, Madonna explains the detailed and time-consuming work it takes to track down a predator, and how we must all begin that difficult conversation in order to foster greater awareness.

Welcome to This Glorious Mess Big Kids. A twice-weekly look at parenting as it really is. Confusing, exhausting, inspiring, funny, and full of surprises. So many surprises. What if we told you that ten is now the beginning of teendom? Well, Madonna King's new book Ten-Ager reveals just that. Through her research, consulting parents, teachers, psychologists and ten-agers, she discovered that our girls start to show signs of insecurity and emotional volatility far younger than we initially thought. Madonna shares with us everything she learnt about the ten-ager and her best tips for parents going through it.  LINKS Madonna King's new book Ten-Ager is out now!  CREDITS Hosts:Holly Wainwright & Andrew Daddo Guests: Madonna King Producer: Mikayla Floriano CONTACT US Send your parenting dilemmas to tgm@mamamia.com.au Looking for a community of like-minded parents?

Olivia Wilde and Harry Styles are dating and it's another case of the internet having lots of opinions about two famous people getting together. Olivia is being hammered for dating a younger man and we think she's receiving a special brand of hatred reserved only for single mothers.  Plus, an article was recently published in the Sydney Morning Herald by Madonna King, titled: “My friend, she’s really skinny, I need to lose weight”. The teenage angst swamping 10 year old girls. King’s new book ‘Ten-Ager’ has just been released and is all about what our daughters need to know about the transition from child to teen. But it's not only interesting if you're a mother, but it's also interesting for anyone who was once a 10 year old, and it's got us thinking about how the fears of young girls are amplified for a generation who were born in the age of iPhones and Instagram. And, our best and worst of the week, including Mia's new piercings.  THE END BITS  Recommendations: Holly and Jessie think you should go see The Dry at the movies.

Hello dear friends,We start today off with a very casual chat about the books we’re reading. Jasmine is currently devouring Kokomo by Victoria Hannan and Maggie is gobbling up Dolly Alderton’s Ghosts. From November 13–18, it was Trans Awareness Week. Maggie attended a great talk with Minus 18 and Zoe Terakes and we also found this post on trans terminology super helpful.We then dive into Sia’s newly released trailer for her film Music. We look at why this has caused the autistic community so much hurt, as we draw from Twitter’s hashtags #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs and #ActuallyAutistic. This post by @neurodifferent was really insightful for breaking down ableist euphemisms.Jasmine recommends season four of The Crown and fawns over Princess Di’s outfits and you can see even more of her iconic looks in this article by Daisy Murray for Elle UK. Maggie recommends “'Intimate terrorism': why the murders of Hannah, Aaliyah, Laianah and Trey must spark change” by Madonna King for The Age. A trigger warning for this one as it deals with issues of abuse and domestic violence. Please reach out to Lifeline, Safe Steps, Sexual Assault Crisis Line, 1800 My Options or 1800Respect if you or a loved one needs support.Our jingle, editing and production is by India Raine.

On 17 April 2005, nine young Australians were arrested in Bali on charges of drug trafficking. Known as the 'Bali 9', some members received the death penalty for their crimes, while others are serving lengthy jail sentences.  It seemed like a case burnt into the Australian consciousness. However, more than 15 years later the same crimes are being carried out, with just as devastating effects. Journalists Cindy Wockner and Madonna King were present at the trials and sentencing of The Bali 9. They used their investigative skills to piece together the whole story, from arrest to jail to the harrowing final journey for their book, Bali 9: The Untold Story. Madonna King joins Jessie Stephens to take us through the case of the Bali 9, the lives of those involved, why they took on such a huge risk, and the now controversial role of the Australian Federal Police.
