When ADHD Is Misunderstood: A Parent’s Fight for Support, Safety, and Educational Reform

In this episode of The Neurodiversity Voices Podcast, Paul speaks with Grace Lee, a mother and advocate whose family’s experience with ADHD, special education, and school discipline revealed serious gaps in how schools understand neurodivergent children. Grace shares how her son’s ADHD, emotional dysregulation, and need for behavioral support were misunderstood as defiance, eventually leading to a school disciplinary incident involving law enforcement and the juvenile justice system. She discusses IEPs, Behavior Intervention Plans, Manifestation Determination Reviews, documentation, advocacy burnout, and the importance of connection over punishment. This conversation is a powerful look at what happens when systems fail to recognize neurodivergent children’s needs — and what parents, educators, administrators, and policymakers can do differently.

From Masking to Meaning: Robert "Bob" Schmus on Autism, Mental Health, and Living Authentically

What does it feel like to grow up knowing you're different but not understanding why? In this heartfelt episode of The Neurodiversity Voices Podcast, host Paul Cruz sits down with Robert "Bob" Schmus, a licensed clinical social worker, autism advocate, public speaker, writer, and creator of Bob's Neuro Tidbits. Bob shares his deeply personal journey from feeling isolated as a child to receiving an autism diagnosis at age 15 during one of the darkest periods of his life. That diagnosis didn't define him—it helped him finally understand himself. Together, Paul and Bob explore the importance of self-acceptance, why masking can be emotionally exhausting, how stimming supports emotional regulation, and why autistic people deserve understanding rather than attempts to "fix" them. As both an autistic adult and a therapist, Bob offers a unique perspective on neurodiversity-affirming care, explaining how lived experience allows him to meet clients with empathy, compassion, and authenticity. He also shares the powerful story of overcoming low expectations after being told that living independently and attending college wasn't realistic—going on to earn both his bachelor's and master's degrees while building a meaningful career helping others. Throughout the conversation, Bob reminds us that every autistic person has their own journey, their own strengths, and their own voice. His message is simple but profound: listen first, seek understanding, and never underestimate what someone can achieve. Whether you're autistic, neurodivergent, a parent, educator, therapist, healthcare professional, or someone wanting to better understand autism, this episode offers encouragement, insight, and hope. In this episode, we discuss: Receiving an autism diagnosis and finding self-understandingGrowing up feeling different before having the language to explain itThe emotional toll of masking and autistic burnoutWhy stimming is a healthy form of self-regulationSelf-acceptance and embracing authenticityNeurodiversity-affirming therapyMental health challenges affecting autistic adultsAnxiety, depression, trauma, and emotional regulationDefying low expectations and building an independent lifeWhy listening is one of the greatest forms of supportConnect with Robert "Bob" Schmus • LinkedIn: Robert Schmus, MSW, LCSW • Instagram: @vintage_bob_1989 • Bob's Neuro Tidbits • SpeakerHub • The Mighty If you enjoyed this episode, please follow, rate, and share The Neurodiversity Voices Podcast.

The Power of Mattering: Rethinking Disability, Inclusion, and Belonging with Carmen Farrell

What if disability isn't found within a person—but in the barriers society creates? In this powerful episode of The Neurodiversity Voices Podcast, host Paul Cruz sits down with Carmen G. Farrell—writer, former school district administrator, disability advocate, and mother of a young adult with FOXG1 syndrome—to explore how our understanding of disability, inclusion, and belonging can fundamentally change lives. Carmen shares her deeply personal journey from navigating years of medical appointments and uncertainty to discovering a new way of thinking about disability through the social model of disability and the transformative concept of mattering. She challenges the idea that neurodivergent and disabled individuals need to be "fixed". Instead, she invites us to consider how our schools, workplaces, and communities can become places where everyone feels seen, valued, and included. One of the highlights of this conversation is the inspiring story of Club G, an award-winning, student-led initiative that transformed playground inclusion into a movement of kindness and belonging. Rather than focusing on one child, Club G empowered an entire school community to rethink what inclusion truly means. Whether you're a parent, educator, disability advocate, employer, or someone passionate about creating more inclusive communities, this episode offers practical insights, heartfelt stories, and a fresh perspective on what it means to belong truly. About Our GuestCarmen G. Farrell is a writer, disability advocate, former school district administrator, and the mother of a young adult with FOXG1 syndrome. She is the co-creator of the award-winning Club G, a student-led inclusion initiative that has inspired schools and communities across Canada. Through her writing and advocacy, Carmen explores disability, belonging, social justice, and the transformative power of "mattering." Learn more: Website: https://carmengfarrell.com Exclusive Gift for Our ListenersAs a special thank-you to listeners of The Neurodiversity Voices Podcast, Carmen Farrell is offering an exclusive preview of the first chapter of her forthcoming memoir. In this deeply personal memoir, Carmen chronicles her journey from believing that her son's impairments were deficits that needed to be fixed to understanding that disability is often created when impairments encounter exclusionary systems, environments, and attitudes. Through the challenges of raising her son, Jess, Carmen discovered that it was this very friction—navigating a world not designed for him—that revealed extraordinary strengths, transformed the people and systems around them, and awakened her own calling as an inclusion ally. The opening chapter takes readers back to the moment she first realized that her "perfect" child wasn't "perfect" according to society's expectations—a realization that became the beginning of a profound journey of advocacy, belonging, and hope.

Rethinking Neurodiversity: Inclusive Systems, Autism & ADHD Communication, and the Future of Accessibility with Justine Jecker

We've been taught there's a "right" way to think, communicate, and behave. But what if that assumption is the problem? In this episode of The Neurodiversity Voices Podcast, host Paul Cruz sits down with Justine Jecker to explore how neurodiversity is reshaping our understanding of communication, systems, accessibility, and human difference. This conversation goes beyond awareness. It challenges how workplaces operate, how healthcare communicates, and how society defines "normal." Together, Paul and Justine examine what happens when we move away from trying to fix individuals and instead focus on redesigning the systems around them. They discuss communication differences, accessibility, workplace inclusion, healthcare experiences, and why embracing neurodiversity benefits everyone—not just neurodivergent people. In this episode, you'll hear about: • Rethinking traditional assumptions about communication and behaviour • Neurodiversity in healthcare and workplace systems • Autism and ADHD communication differences • Accessibility as a systems issue rather than an individual issue • Creating environments that support diverse ways of thinking • Challenging definitions of "normal." • Inclusive design and systems change • Building communities and organizations where everyone can thrive Key Takeaway If there's one idea to carry forward from this episode, it's this: "When we stop trying to fix people, we start building systems that actually work for everyone."

Autism, Not Attitude: Why Workplaces Misunderstand Neurodivergent Employees with Felicia Davis

What if what looks like "attitude" is actually miscommunication? In this episode of The Neurodiversity Voices Podcast, host Paul Cruz sits down with Felicia M. L.

From literal thinking and missed social cues to masking, burnout, and workplace bias, this conversation reveals the hidden cost of not understanding how different brains work. Together, Paul and Felicia examine how communication differences are often misinterpreted and why those misunderstandings can affect careers, relationships, mental health, and a person's sense of belonging.

Late Autism Diagnosis, Neuroqueerness & The Autistic Arcana with Erica Settino

What happens when a late diagnosis doesn't just explain your past—it reshapes how you move through the present? In this powerful and deeply personal episode of The Neurodiversity Voices Podcast, host Paul Cruz sits down with Erica Settino to explore late-identified autism, ADHD (combined type), neuroqueerness, alexithymia, and the ongoing journey of unmasking. Erica shares the validation and clarity that came with receiving a diagnosis later in life, alongside the grief, reflection, and compassion that emerged for the younger version of herself who navigated the world without support or understanding. Together, Paul and Erica discuss identity, parenting a neurodivergent child, self-discovery, and what it means to rebuild a relationship with yourself after years of masking and misunderstanding. The conversation also explores the role of creativity, spirituality, and self-expression in the neurodivergent experience. Erica shares how poetry became a nonlinear container for truth-telling, why nature and animals offer connection and unconditional grace, and how activism can become more sustainable through art, storytelling, and care. Erica also introduces her forthcoming book, The Autistic Arcana—a neurodivergent approach to tarot, magic, and the Major Arcana that explores self-understanding through a neurodiversity-affirming lens. In this episode, you'll hear about: • Late autism diagnosis and identity discovery • ADHD (combined type) and neurodivergent experiences • Neuroqueerness and self-understanding • Alexithymia and emotional awareness • Unmasking and healing from years of misunderstanding • Parenting a neurodivergent child • Creativity, poetry, and personal expression • Nature, animals, and belonging • Sustainable activism and community care • Tarot, spirituality, and self-reflection as tools for understanding • The Autistic Arcana and neurodivergent approaches to meaning-making Why This Conversation Matters Many late-diagnosed autistic and ADHD adults experience a complex mix of validation, grief, relief, and self-discovery. Erica's story highlights the power of finding language for experiences that once felt confusing or isolating—and the freedom that can come from embracing your authentic self. If you've ever felt "too much," "not enough," or misunderstood, this conversation offers both language and permission.

Between Places: ADHD, Neurodivergent Identity & the Beauty of Being a Generalist with Nathan Stafford-King

What if your many interests, unfinished projects, and non-linear path aren't signs of failure—but evidence of a different way of moving through the world? In this episode of The Neurodiversity Voices Podcast, host Paul Cruz sits down with Nathan Stafford-King, a storyteller, photographer, theatre director, and lifelong explorer whose journey has taken him across the UK, Germany, Denmark, India, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Mexico, and now Canada. Together, they explore how ADHD can be misunderstood, misdiagnosed, and masked—especially when navigating different cultures, systems, and expectations. Nathan shares memories of early childhood signs, the impact of a later misdiagnosis, and the moment he realised that even when he was doing everything "right"—sleeping well, exercising, eating properly, and maintaining routines—his ability to focus still felt unpredictable. That realisation ultimately led him to seek an ADHD assessment and a deeper understanding of how his brain works. The conversation dives into the daily realities of ADHD, including task initiation challenges, unfinished projects, time blindness, distraction, patience, and adaptability. It also celebrates the strengths that often accompany neurodivergence: creativity, humour, curiosity, storytelling, and the remarkable ability to hyperfocus on meaningful work. Nathan also shares an unforgettable travel story from a night bus in India—a vivid example of how impulsivity, adaptability, and problem-solving often intersect in real life. In this episode, you'll hear about: • ADHD and late understanding of neurodivergence • Misdiagnosis and self-discovery • Living and working across different cultures • Time blindness, focus, and unfinished projects • Hyperfocus and creative flow states • Storytelling, photography, and theatre • The value of being a generalist in a specialist world • Building a meaningful life through diverse experiences • Patience, flexibility, and self-acceptance • Why non-linear paths can still lead somewhere meaningful Memorable Moments "Some days I did everything right… and I still couldn't focus. It felt unfair." "Task initiation is sometimes really hard… but with video editing, I could just go." "Identity is the one thing about us that isn't ours—it's given by others." "If you can step into someone else's perspective, you double your knowledge." Key Takeaway Many neurodivergent people worry they're too scattered, too curious, or too multi-passionate. Nathan offers a different perspective: The experiences you collect, the skills you build, and the stories you gather can come together in meaningful ways—even when the path isn't obvious at the time. Sometimes being a generalist is not a weakness. It's a strength. Resources Mentioned Range: Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialised World by David Epstein Connect with Nathan Stafford-King Instagram: @NathSK Watch Nathan's play: youtube.com/watch?v=T8CJ1yXZMBY Why This Conversation Matters In a world that often rewards specialisation, this episode is a reminder that curiosity, adaptability, creativity, and broad experience have value. For neurodivergent people whose lives don't follow a straight line, Nathan's story offers reassurance that meaningful growth can happen between places, between identities, and between expectations.

Learning to See: Understanding Neurodivergent Brains, Autism & ADHD with Jeff Brown

What does it truly mean to see a child—not just their behaviour, but the brain and experiences underneath it? In this powerful episode of The Neurodiversity Voices Podcast, host Paul Cruz is joined by educator, author, and advocate Jeff Brown, a high school teacher with more than 25 years of experience and lived experience as an autistic and ADHD adult. Together, they explore how slowing down our perception can transform classrooms, homes, relationships, and lives. Jeff shares why neurodivergent behaviours are so often misunderstood, how students are frequently labelled as "lazy," "defiant," or "unmotivated," and what becomes possible when adults choose curiosity over judgment. From sensory overload and rejection sensitivity to discipline systems, educational expectations, and long-term self-worth, this conversation challenges common assumptions and offers a more compassionate, neurodiversity-affirming perspective. At its heart, this episode reminds us that advocacy often begins long before paperwork, accommodations, or policy—it begins with how we choose to see people. In this episode, you'll hear about: • Autism, ADHD, and neurodivergent experiences • Why behaviour is often misunderstood • Sensory overload and emotional regulation • Rejection sensitivity and self-worth • Moving from judgment to curiosity • Creating safer and more supportive classrooms • Discipline systems and their unintended consequences • Building trust with neurodivergent youth • Advocacy through understanding and connection • What happens when people truly feel seen Why This Conversation Matters Too many neurodivergent young people grow up hearing messages that they are difficult, lazy, disruptive, or not trying hard enough. Jeff challenges these narratives by encouraging educators, parents, and caregivers to look beneath behaviour and consider the experiences driving it. When we understand the "why," we create opportunities for connection, growth, and belonging. Who Should Listen This episode is especially meaningful for: • Neurodivergent youth who have felt misunderstood • Parents and caregivers seeking a more compassionate lens • Educators building inclusive and supportive classrooms • School administrators and support staff • Mental health professionals and advocates • Anyone wanting a deeper understanding of neurodivergent experiences Key Takeaway When people feel seen, they feel safer. And when they feel safe, they can grow.
