 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 心理学 心理学・心の健康 社会科学 衛生・健康的な生活

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

    Why ADHD Makes Decisions Feel So Hard and What Helps: Goals, Accountability, and the AIR Reset with Brooke Schmidt
    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 Schmidt (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.

  • How to Truly “See” Neurodivergent Families ft. Carlos Whittaker

    How to Truly “See” Neurodivergent Families ft. Carlos Whittaker
    2025/12/04
    What if one small moment of compassion could change an entire day for a neurodivergent child—or their parent? So many ND families live with daily overwhelm, meltdowns in public, invisible disabilities, and the feeling of not being understood. In today’s episode, we ask: What does it really look like to “see” neurodivergent families in a world that often doesn’t? I’m joined by Carlos Whittaker—author, speaker, storyteller, and champion of walking with people instead of standing on issues. Carlos shares how choosing compassion over judgement builds bridges and creates true community, especially for neurodivergent families. Together, we talk about: The power of being seen and why ND families need it most How to support a parent during a public meltdown (what to do + what NOT to say) What small actions look like when you want to “walk with people” Parenting differently, shrinking social circles, and finding your village Hope, healing, and why we don’t need to be “fixed” to move forward Simple ways anyone can make the world more inclusive for ND kids and parents Connect with Carlos Whittaker on Instagram: @loswhit Check out Carlos’s books, courses & community Join the Unfinished Community WhatsApp. Where you can share your everyday joys, struggles, and differences!
