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.
