EPIC Families

By: EPIC Families
  • Summary

  • We’re on a mission to create EPIC families: Extraordinary Parents. Incredible Children.


    Families with children (and potentially parents!) who have ADHD, Autism or sit along the neurodiverse spectrum...it's time celebrate the power of thinking differently.


    The EPIC Families Podcast gives neurodiverse families the certainty, clarity and confidence to build EPIC relationships and live incredible lives though embracing - not fighting against - what makes them unique.


    We deliver strength in neurodiversity by grabbing the information from experts who have it, and giving it to the families who need it. Our focus is on real-life families and providing them with practical guidance, tools and support. We are proudly and boldly different - we focus on real, chaotic, messy family life, not perfect psychological scenarios and academic case studies.


    No longer will neurodiverse families feel overlooked, misunderstood, confused, ignored or forgotten. This is where we make a stand and prove to the world that neurodiversity is superpower!


    EPIC Families is delivered by Bay Paediatrics, one of New Zealand's leading child neurodiversity clinics. Discover more at: https://baypaediatrics.com/


    The show is hosted by Freddie Bennett, a neurodiverse dad who conquered his mind and became a Guinness World Record holder, crossed the Sahara Desert, and ran the Arctic towards the North Pole. Now he’s on a mission to help every family understand that neurodiversity does not have to be a weakness…it can be your greatest strength.

  • I'm No Expert, But...
    Nov 4 2024

    Surely every neurodiverse family deserves to be an EPIC family? EPIC stands for Extraordinary Parents & Incredible Children.


    ADHD and Autism can leave children and their families feeling trapped, shackled, overlooked, misunderstood and forgotten.


    I should know, I’m a neurodiverse dad in a neurodivergent family. And I’m sick & tired of looking for ‘the answer’ when it comes to neurodiverse parenting.


    So this is the launch of EPIC Families, a podcast and resource centre from Bay Paediatrics - one of New Zealand’s leading child neurodiversity clinics.


    We created EPIC Families because we got p*ssed off and frustrated that so many families are waiting too long for an ADHD or Autism diagnosis, or they finally get that diagnosis, and then get next to ZERO support and guidance that is real, practical and actually makes a difference.


    Because - let’s face it - if you’ve got a neurodiverse child you’re either on the spectrum yourself, or you haven’t got the bloody time or energy to sit through yet another parenting course.


    Well, it’s time to think differently about neurodiversity… and it’s time to break the mould.


    I’m no expert, but I’m on a mission to bring you the best experts in the world to help you become an EPIC family.


    I’ve also started a free community where you can be seen, be heard, and be YOURSELF. You can join here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/epicfamiliescommunity
