Paralympian Karni encourages Peas to drop the fight

Kate and Mandy talk to Karni, a Paralympian swimmer, TV presenter, mum to a four-year-old son and a social worker specialising in family violence experienced by people with disabilities. Karni was born with a neuromuscular wasting disease called congenital titonpathy and uses a wheelchair. Karni started swimming for Australia as a Paralympian when she was only twelve years old, and loved finding a community where she felt ‘in the majority’ with the opportunity to feel completely herself for the very first time. Karni talks about the many intrusive and inappropriate questions she received while pregnant with her son, and way she adapted to caring for her baby and the enjoyment she gained by finally experiencing motherhood – despite still receiving intrusive questions about her capabilities. Karni discusses her experience of being ordered off a Dreamworld ride due to a medical clearance issue, forcing her to leave her 3-year- old son alone on the ride. She talks about the ‘misconception of risk’ that people with disabilities are often beholden to in unfair and discriminatory ways. The three talk about the exhaustion of the ‘fight mode’. Karni encourages all Peas to ‘turn the fight switch off’ where they can, and be present with their peashoots, rather than worrying about all the many future fights ahead. On the other hand, Karni encourages all abled-bodied people to ‘turn the fight switch up’ and play a greater role in challenging ableist behavior when they see it. Karni also reflects on the ‘just a healthy baby’ line, which she begun to hear regularly in her 30s when her friends were having babies. Watch the Ted Talk she did on the topic!

Peafessional Rebecca talks about supporting neurodiverse kids in positive, strength-based ways.

Kate and Mandy talk to peafessional Rebecca, founder of ADHD advocacy and events organisation My Special Child and the National Peke Centre, which offers positive, strengths-based clinical support for ADHD, autism, anxiety, sensory challenges and regulation. Rebecca has lived experience of ADHD and is a pea mum to children with ADHD and intellectual disabilities. Rebecca also has a neurodivergent partner and mother, so is well immersed in the neurodivergent community in both work and life! She is committed to educating the community about ADHD and addressing all the misunderstandings, lack of awareness and stigma that can be so damaging and harmful. Rebecca started My Special Child and the National Peke Centre to address the lack of support and availability of accurate, reliable information for parents. At the Peke Centre, a range of different peafessionals offer support that leaves kids and families feeling good about themselves! Rebecca plans to set up dedicated schools in the future to help better address the needs of neurodivergent peashoots who may be experiencing discrimination and exclusion from mainstreams schools. Rebecca offers advice and tips for parents and educators, reflects on the lack of formal training in ADHD for educators and provides great information about PDA (pathological demand avoidance) – including understanding what capacity a child has to process and respond to a demand in the moment, and having realistic expectations about how consistent a child can actually be. Kate, Mandy and Rebecca also reflect on the shift in parenting skills needed to best care for a neurodivergent child, including letting go of the parenting tactics learned from our Baby Boomer parents, such as demanding compliance no matter what. Rebecca encourages everyone to keep accepting that there’s always something to learn to help us better support neurodivergent kids and adults! Find Rebecca at My Special Child and the National Peke Centre!
