Losing My Autistic Husband To Brain Cancer - Holly Matthews

In 2017 Holly’s husband Ross (who was also neurodivergent) died of brain cancer. Since becoming a widowed single Mum at just 32 Holly has worked tirelessly to help people to feel ‘more happy and less crappy’ using her brand The Happy Me project. She works hard to breakdown any stigma around autism and ADHD (her oldest daughter is autistic and she has ADHD) & tries to create an inclusive and accessible space in all that she does. 00:00 Intro01:27 Your early memories of feeling different 09:45 Your two daughters19:18 Ross24:37 When did you find out Ross was unwell?31:37 Ross and autism38:49 Did the girls understand why dad was unwell?46:06 Grief56:19 Your ADHD assessment 01:04:13 Your ADHD item (tea spoon)01:12:44 Washing machine of woes01:22:11 Your most impulsive thingFollow Holly on Instagram 👉 https://www.instagram.com/iamhollymatthews/?hl=enVisit Holly's website 👉 https://www.iamhollymatthews.comSupport ADHD Chatter:LinkedIn 👉 https://bit.ly/3m1qm8QInstagram 👉 https://bit.ly/3KuNXIrTikTok 👉 https://bit.ly/3ZxZNGdThis episode has been produced for entertainment purposes only and is in no way meant to be taken as medical advice or advice in any way.
