Chris sits down with Kaboose Founder Michelle Ridsdale who developed the app after seeing the struggles that her own autistic son has gone through in his teenage years, especially the difficulties he had at school in finding friendships and maintaining healthy relationships, which has led to ongoing issues with his mental health.
