Autism Dadcast is one of the UK’s fastest-growing autism parenting platforms, reaching tens of thousands of families every week through honest conversation, lived experiences, and dark humour where it's needed most.

Founded by Andy Williams and Gaz Hitchin, Autism Dadcast exists to give fathers a voice in a space where they're often silent, overlooked, or expected to "just cope".

We speak openly about the realities of parenting autistic children, the shock of diagnosis, the isolation, the strain on relationships, the guilt, the small wins, and the moments nobody prepares you for.

This isn't theory.

It's lived experience.

 Autism Dadcast began as a simple conversation between two fathers who realised they were having the same late-night thoughts, fears, and questions and discovering that very few people were talking about them out loud.

Since their launch in May 2025, the platform has grown into a trusted space for parents, carers, and professionals, with content that is:

• Honest and unfiltered
• Grounded in real-life experience
• Accessible, relatable, and human
• Supportive without being patronising

Our audience is primarily parents of autistic children, gaining a strong male demographic - a group traditionally underserved in autism support and media.

Andy and Gaz are available for interviews, panels, podcasts, radio, television, and live events.

Common topics include:

• The reality of receiving an autism diagnosis for your child
• The impact of autism on fathers and male mental health
• Navigating education, SEND systems, and daily life
• Autism and family relationships
• Christmas, routines, and sensory overload
• Letting go of expectations
• The child you imagined Vs. the child you have
