 Welcome to The Unfinished Idea, a space for you to expand your understanding about the neurodiverse world that is all around us. What is it like raising a child with ADHD and autism? How does a neurodivergent person see and interact with the world? This podcast will share practical help, tips, and insights into the joys, struggles, and differences of everyday experiences of this special world. I'm Greer, mom to two boys & two dogs and, together with my husband, raising a child with Special Educational Needs. Our day-to-day experience isn't being talked about in everyday life and I see a gap in those leading people who are neurodiverse. Whether you are a parent, a friend, a teacher, or a neighbor, it needs to be a joint effort. I created this podcast to build a “over a cup of coffee” kind of conversation with you and me -- helping to bring awareness and better understanding about those who are neurodivergent and families who are raising children with additional needs. Each week, I will spend 30 minutes talking and interviewing others in the neurodiverse space and giving you the opportunity to learn, grow, feel seen and heard by how we interact with each other.That Sounds Fun Network 2024 人間関係 心理学 心理学・心の健康 社会科学 衛生・健康的な生活

  • Through a Father’s Eyes: Raising Neurodivergent Kids with Rob

    Through a Father’s Eyes: Raising Neurodivergent Kids with Rob
    2025/06/26
    Did you know that over 75% of parenting conversations about autism center on moms? But what about dads—especially those raising neurodivergent kids as primary caregivers? In today’s episode, we hear the rarely shared perspective of a father navigating the highs, heartbreaks, and hope of raising autistic children. Greer sits down with Rob Gorski—widely known online as The Autism Dad—a father & advocate who has spent over a decade documenting his real, raw journey of raising autistic children. Rob brings honesty, wisdom, and warmth to a conversation that is both deeply personal and universally needed. In this episode, Rob and Greer talk about: Why we don’t hear enough from fathers in the ND parenting world How Rob became the primary caregiver for his autistic children The emotional weight of “fix it” culture and silent grief What parenting out loud really looks like, in all its messy beauty Celebrating small wins and shifting family roles Why dads deserve safe spaces to speak Greer and Rob explore what it means to parent autistic children through a father's eyes, diving into the emotional weight of being a primary caregiver in a world that often overlooks dads in neurodivergent families. They unpack the evolving nature of parenting roles, especially when traditional gender expectations don't fit, and talk openly about the mental health challenges that can come with caregiving. Their conversation touches on the importance of honest, real-time parenting moments, the value of celebrating small wins, and the deep need for community and connection among families navigating autism, ADHD, and neurodiversity. Listeners will come away with a deeper understanding of how fatherhood is experienced within the world of neurodivergent parenting, especially when dads take on caregiving roles that society often overlooks. Rob’s vulnerability highlights the pressure men can feel to fix what isn’t broken, and how that narrative can lead to quiet grief and burnout. This episode reminds us that parenting doesn’t have to be perfect to be meaningful—sometimes, the interruptions and chaos are what make it real. It’s also a powerful example of how conversations like this can break stigma, encourage emotional honesty, and challenge outdated parenting expectations. Most importantly, it reassures listeners that showing up with love, consistency, and authenticity is enough—and that no one is alone in this journey. 🎧 Don’t forget to share this episode with a friend, leave a review, or come join the Unfinished Community—where we talk about the real stuff and remind each other we’re never alone on this journey.

    Late Diagnosis, Self-Discovery & Neurodivergent Relationships with Savannah
    2025/06/19
    I sit down with Savannah—one of those people you instantly click with. Though we've never met in person, our conversation felt like chatting with a longtime friend. Savannah shares her story of being diagnosed with both autism and ADHD as an adult, and how that late diagnosis became a turning point in how she sees herself, her relationships, and the way she moves through the world. If you're a woman who’s been diagnosed with ADHD or autism later in life, or you’ve always felt a little “different” but never had the words to explain why, this episode is going to speak directly to your heart. Savannah opens up about the grief and relief that often follow a diagnosis, the clarity that comes with understanding your neurotype, and how she’s using her experience to bring more awareness and advocacy into the world. We also dive into what it looks like to navigate a relationship where different neurotypes meet—how communication shifts, what support can look like, and why honoring each other’s needs is vital. Savannah brings both vulnerability and joy to the table, reminding us that neurodivergence isn’t something to fix—it’s something to understand, embrace, and live fully within. This is a conversation filled with honesty, laughter, and those powerful moments where you feel seen. Whether you’re just starting to explore your own neurodivergent identity or deep in the journey, this episode offers encouragement, insight, and the kind of connection that reminds you you’re not alone. 🎧 Don’t forget to share this episode with a friend, leave a review, or come join the Unfinished Community—where we talk about the real stuff and remind each other we’re never alone on this journey.
