Episode 39: Stop Trying to Fix Your ADHD Kid — Lead Them Instead
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What if everything you’ve been doing to “help” your ADHD child is actually holding them back?
In this episode of Unstitching ADHD, I sat down with neurodiversity consultant Lisa Richer—mom, advocate, and creator of the Clarity, Confidence & Courage Journey Map—to explore one of the most powerful mindset shifts in special education:
Stop fixing. Start leading.
Here’s what we unpack:
· Why ADHD and autism require fundamentally different approaches
· How the 3C Journey Map turns confusion into clarity and confidence
· What parents can do right now when they feel stuck navigating schools
· Why your words, energy, and mindset can transform IEP meetings
One line that really stayed with me:
“Neurodiversity is the prism lighting the table.”
This is a conversation every parent, educator, and advocate should hear.
