About this episode
In this episode we talk to John Williams, author of the brilliant blog My Son's Not Rainman. He discusses what it's like to be the parent of a child with autism, plus serious issues like the number of cucumbers you can get for a pound down Lewisham market.
Ellie and John educate Helen about those classic British cultural touchstones, Going for Gold and Fray Bentos pies. Helen reveals her secret recipe for carbonara (spoiler: stock up on Kraft cheese slices). There's some chat about the joys of living in South East London and we round off, as always, with some Scummy Mummy Confessions.
Do check out John's blog, and you can sponsor him in the London Marathon via his Just Giving page.
And if you fancy seeing the Scummy Mummies LIVE, tickets are now on sale for our London show on 27 March and 2...
