 The Seen Heard Accepted podcast is brought to you by the Valentin family, a diverse group of people who grew up together unaware they were neurodivergent and lived together under one roof for 18 years, somehow without killing each other. Join us for real honest conversations about Neurodiversity, LGBTQ+ and gender and random family stories and banter as we try our best to destigmatise differences while sharing our perspectives of the world. ***New Episodes Fortnightly on Fridays.
