Humans Outside

OwlTail

How does spending time outside impact or help humans who are tackling life with various forms of neurodivergence or with an autism diagnosis? Dad and daughter duo Ian and Eve Alderman, who share both an autism diagnosis and a love of hiking, are navigating the world - literally - one hike at a time. With the support of mom Sarah, the Scotland-based family is teaching Eve to pair her unique abilities with the wide world by doing long hiking projects for charity. In this episode Ian takes a break from the trail to talk about their adventures, how spending time outside aids them on their life journey, and what other humans both neuronormative and neurodivergent may be able to find by spending more time outside.

284: This Dad-Daughter Duo Takes Long Hikes to Share Their Spectrum Adventures (Ian and Eve Alderman, hiking for autism awareness)

Today, we have Ian Alderman on the show. Ian and his daughter, Eve, are hiking the entire length of Britain. While it isn't a super long hike, it is still over a thousand miles and there is very little in the way of a defined path. The West Highland Way WAS a path that made it a little easier for them and that's where I found them.  What's remarkable about these two, though, is that both Ian and his daughter are autistic. Ian and his wife Sarah have determined that they don't intend for Eve to be handicapped by autism, so they are giving her an adventure that, in itself, is spawning other ideas for further adventures.  You can check out their Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/ourspectrumadventures  If you'd like to offer some support, you can do so here.  https://www.gofundme.com/f/eve-and-ian-john-o-groats-to-lands-end                Dom Tamarro has taken a few days off the trail to return home for a graduation, yet he's now past 500 miles and loving it. By the time you listen to today's show, he'll be back at it.  If you'd like to find out more about "Then The Hail Came," check out George's website at https://georgesteffanos.webador.com/.
