The Untypical Parent™ Podcast
Welcome to The Untypical Parent™ Podcast, a place for parents in neurodivergent families who want real-life strategies, honest conversations, and a reminder that doing things differently is more than okay.
Hosted by me, Liz Evans — The Untypical OT, a dyslexic, solo parent in a neurodiverse family, this show explores everything from parental burnout and sensory needs to dyslexia, ADHD, and chronic illness. You’ll hear from experts and parents alike, sharing tips and stories to help you create a family life that works for you, because every family is unique and there’s no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to families.
If you’ve ever felt that “typical” parenting advice doesn’t fit your world, this is your place for connection, practical tools, and encouragement without the judgement.
Topics include:
• Neurodivergent parenting strategies
• Managing burnout and overwhelm
• Sensory-friendly family life
• Dyslexia, ADHD, autism & additional needs
• Parenting with chronic illness
Listen weekly for ideas you can actually use — and the reassurance that you’re not alone in doing things your way. Take what works and leave what doesn't.
Are you ready?

Episode 5: Bracky from Supergood Bikers for Autism
🎙 The Untypical OT Talks with Bracky from Supergood Bikers for Autism
In this episode, Liz sits down with Paul Brackstone, affectionately known as Bracky, the passionate founder of Supergood Bikers for Autism. Together, they explore the unique challenges and rewards of parenting neurodivergent children, with a special focus on reaching dads who might not always feel included in the conversation.
Bracky opens up about his journey as a dad raising an autistic child, sharing raw and honest insights into the highs, the lows, and the moments in between. From navigating a diagnosis to finding his voice as a parent and advocate.
How motorbikes became a lifeline for processing his son's diagnosis and building a supportive community for parents like him.
From organizing charity ride-outs to designing a specially-built sidecar for individuals with mobility needs, Bracky is on a mission to make a difference.
This episode isn’t just for dads and bikers—it’s for anyone any parent looking for support. Whether you’re a dad yourself or a mum listening in, this is an episode to share with your partner or grab your partner and listen together.
