This week I'm talking to Caro Greenwood, who is a mum of 4, wife of Rugby World Cup winner Will Greenwood, and runs the blog Spikey Mama


Caro's daughter Matilda is autistic, but getting a diagnosis has been far from straightforward. Caro shares all that they went through, the numerous specialists and professionals they saw over the years before finally a diagnosis was given


We talk all things autism, what it means for their family, and in particular their experiences with school, and how they've struggled to find one that meets Matilda's needs.


Caro's also very honest sharing some of the mistakes she's made over the years as a parent, and just how much she's evolved in the process. Lots of fascinating insight


You can follow Caro and her story over on Instagram at her page Spikey Mama https://www.instagram.com/spikey_mama/
