 What’s it really like parenting a child with ADHD and autism? How can parents, teachers, and communities better support neurodivergent children? How do autistic and ADHD individuals experience the world? Each week, we explore these questions with practical strategies, emotional insight, and real stories. I’m Greer — a mum of two boys (and two dogs!) raising a child with special educational needs (SEN) alongside my husband. Our daily life looks different from the norm, but it’s full of love, advocacy, and growth. I started this podcast to create a space for parents of neurodivergent kids, educators, and allies to learn, connect, and build understanding together. You’ll hear parenting tips, advocacy guidance, sensory strategies, and personal reflections that shine a light on both the joys and challenges of neurodivergent parenting. Through heartfelt solo episodes and guest interviews, we’ll talk about EHCP or IEP processes, school support, emotional regulation, and the big feelings that come with raising ND kids. Whether you’re here as a parent of an autistic or ADHD child, a late-diagnosed adult, a teacher seeking insight, or someone wanting to understand the neurodivergent world, this podcast is your space to grow, connect, and know you’re not alone. Welcome to The Unfinished Idea — a podcast all about parenting, autism, ADHD, and life in a neurodivergent family. Here, we open up honest conversations about neurodiversity, raising neurodivergent children, and navigating the everyday realities of SEN parenting.That Sounds Fun Network 2024 人間関係 子育て 社会科学

  • Sensory Meltdowns : A Realistic Reset for Parents Raising Neurodivergent Kids

    Sensory Meltdowns : A Realistic Reset for Parents Raising Neurodivergent Kids
    2026/01/08
    Christmas is over… but your nervous system didn’t get the memo. If you’re heading into January feeling fried, overstimulated, and like you’re already behind, this episode is your permission slip to reset realistically—emotionally, mentally, and practically. Laura and I talk about what’s actually going on underneath sensory meltdowns (hint: it’s communication), how to spot your own “I’m not okay” signs before you crash, and how to be more proactive than reactive when your child is dysregulated. My guest, Laura, has a background in teaching and now supports parents navigating the toughest parts of neurodivergent family life—especially sensory overload and meltdowns. She’s also the creator of The PAUSE Method, a practical digital course built for real life (because “accessible support” isn’t accessible when evenings are meltdown central). Here’s what we get into—like you’re sitting with us at the kitchen table: What a realistic reset looks like for overwhelmed parents: noticing what’s not working, celebrating the “tiny acts of courage” you forget you do daily, and spotting your own distress signals before burnout hits. A mindset shift for meltdowns: your child isn’t “being aggressive”—their body might be asking for sensory input (like proprioceptive/deep pressure needs). Practical sensory supports you can try: wall pushes, press-ups, throwing/catching, “indoor snowballs,” weighted blankets, deep pressure, and learning what your child’s movement is telling you. Why “proactive not reactive” matters (and what a sensory diet actually means). Laura’s PAUSE Method breakdown: physiology, adult awareness, unhelpful thoughts, stress & demands, and boundaries—so you’re not just surviving the meltdown, you’re changing what happens around it too. And the note I hope lands the deepest: nothing is broken—we just need different strategies (and sometimes a couple of recharge breaks).

  • Why ADHD Makes Decisions Feel So Hard and What Helps: Goals, Accountability, and the AIR Reset with Brooke Schnittman

    Why ADHD Makes Decisions Feel So Hard and What Helps: Goals, Accountability, and the AIR Reset with Brooke Schnittman
    2025/12/18
    Have you ever stared at a simple decision and suddenly it feels weirdly massive? Like your brain is running every possible outcome at full volume, and now you are frozen. In this episode, we talk about why ADHD decision making can feel so heavy, how decision fatigue builds faster, and what to do when you hit that stuck loop. Greer is joined by Brooke Schnittman (ADHD coach and creator in the ADHD space) for a real, relatable conversation about decision paralysis, dopamine, and the day to day overwhelm that so many neurodivergent parents and adults carry. In this conversation, you will hear: Why ADHD can make every option feel equally urgent, especially with inattentive ADHD, and why even “small” choices can feel high stakes A simple way to sort “big vs small” decisions by anchoring back to your goals, plus why accountability matters when your brain forgets the goal exists (hello, object permanence) What Brooke calls the ADHD disruption spiral, and why you cannot logic your way out when you are emotionally dysregulated Brooke’s AIR reset (Acknowledge, Interrupt, Redirect) for getting out of freeze mode with a tiny next step that actually feels doable Decision fatigue explained in plain language: how hundreds of daily choices drain fuel faster, why it is not laziness, and how routines can reduce the load over time If you have ever felt shame about how long it takes you to decide, or you rely on “systems” just to stay afloat, this one will make you feel seen and give you something practical to try today.
