À propos de cet audio

 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 Hygiène et mode de vie sain Psychologie Psychologie et santé mentale Relations Sciences sociales

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

    How to Truly “See” Neurodivergent Families ft. Carlos Whittaker
    Dec 4 2025
    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!

  • Supporting Autistic Adults in Everyday Life: Transition, Skills & Community with Sandra Worth

    Supporting Autistic Adults in Everyday Life: Transition, Skills & Community with Sandra Worth
    Nov 20 2025
    What happens when the school supports disappear after graduation? For many autistic adults, the transition to adulthood brings new challenges — independence, employment, and identity — often without the same guidance schools once provided. But it doesn’t have to be that way. In this inspiring and practical episode, Greer sits down with Sandra Worth, mom of an autistic adult and leader at My Autism Connection (MAC) in Florida. Sandra shares how her organization empowers autistic adults through skill-building programs, community partnerships, and innovative initiatives that bridge the gap between school and real life. In this episode, you’ll learn: How MAC supports autistic adults through community and connection Real-world programs that teach driving, job, and life skills How partnerships with law enforcement are creating safer interactions The impact of autism ID cards and statewide officer training What late-diagnosed adults can gain from peer support networks Whether you’re a parent, professional, or autistic adult yourself, this episode offers hope, direction, and practical examples of what true inclusion looks like beyond the school years.
