This time we headed to the Art Gallery of Western Australia to experience the incredible Stormie Mills exhibition.

Whether you're already familiar with Stormie's iconic artwork or discovering it for the very first time, this exhibition is full of creativity, emotion and plenty of moments that make you stop and think.

We had a wonderful time exploring the gallery.

Come along with us and see what made this exhibition so special!

Reducing Equalising Over Time

Equalising can reduce when:

• Daily demand load decreases
• Collaboration increases
• The child feels more real choice
• The parent remains steady

If a PDA child feels chronically one-down in their day (school, rules, expectations), equalising often intensifies at home.

So sometimes the question isn’t:
“How do I stop this behaviour?”

It’s:
“Where is their autonomy being squeezed?”

When autonomy expands in healthy ways, control behaviours soften.

Not because the child has been “put in their place.”

But because their nervous system no longer needs to fight for equilibrium.

Equalising is a signal.

And when we respond to the signal, not just the behaviour, the can dynamic shift.

Welcome to Colour My World! 🌈

Starting somewhere new can feel a little overwhelming, so we've created this short video to help make your first visit to Colour My World a little easier.

Most of us have experienced being irritated by a sound from time to time. But for a child with misophonia, certain everyday noises can trigger an intense neurological response that causes overwhelming distress, anxiety, panic or anger. It is not about being fussy, dramatic or refusing to cope – it is a genuine condition that is often misunderstood.

Today’s post explains what misophonia is, why it happens, how it can affect children and why understanding matters. If this topic resonates with you, we’ve also created a comprehensive A Bitesize Guide to Misophonia, covering common triggers, signs to look for, the impact on everyday life, practical strategies for home and school, co-occurring conditions, and where families can seek further support.
