About this listen
🎤 Live show news! Kate and Nic are bringing Neurotypicals Don’t Juggle Chainsaws to the stage for a live podcast recording at Gosforth Civic Theatre on Thursday 21 May 2026. You can book your tickets here!
After spotting a Department for Education video claiming to show an “inclusive classroom”, Kate and Nic unpack what inclusive education actually looks like versus what systems say it looks like.
From SEND funding structures and EHCP realities to home education fears, tribunal delays and impossible academic expectations, this episode explores the gap between policy language and lived experience for neurodivergent young people and their families.
This isn’t a doom-and-gloom episode though. Alongside the realities, they also explore what is within people’s control: community, knowledge, self-understanding and support networks and why those things may matter more than any official system.
