So how did that go down with that when you were telling your dad that?

So supportive.

And so what happened in that moment?

We love doing this and we want to keep doing it for a long time and we want to do the best we possibly can and it really helps us.

So this is the bit that Ryan's been waiting for.

We're going to talk about parenting now.

We got there.

Scary.

I feel like if we did end up chatting at the Brisbane Star Hotel, we would still be there talking on this very topic right now on parenting because we have a similar journey as far as we have a child who's on the spectrum and diagnosed nearly four years ago now.

And you said before that certain things in your life have definitely – I can't remember the expression you used, but wiped the smile off your face for a little bit of time.

Yeah, slapped it off my face.

Yeah, it certainly punched it off my face for quite some time.

I'm now at a point where I feel like I wouldn't change a thing now and I feel –

I feel so much joy now and I've learned so much from our child and they've enriched our lives so much with what their world looks like.

So interested to know your experience as a fellow parent of a neurodivergent child.

You don't need to.

I can tell you already.

So just knowing – What do you mean by that?

So parenthood has softened you?

100%.
