PODCAST: Grief and Neurodiversity — with Griffin Rouse & Larey Swanson
In this episode of the Brightmont Academy Podcast, ADHD experts Griffin Rouse and Larey Swanson sit down for a conversation on grief and neurodiversity.
In this episode of the Brightmont Academy Podcast, ADHD experts Griffin Rouse and Larey Swanson join us for a deeply honest and eye-opening conversation about the emotional side of ADHD — one that doesn't always get the attention it deserves.
We explore how repeated negative experiences can accumulate into real, lasting grief for individuals with ADHD, and why validating those feelings is a critical first step toward healing. Griffin and Larey discuss the power of externalizing thoughts, creating safe spaces for emotional processing, and building the kind of resilience that sticks. This episode is especially valuable for parents, educators, and professionals who want to support the whole child — not just the symptoms.
If you've ever wondered why ADHD can feel like more than just an attention challenge, this conversation will give you clarity, compassion, and concrete strategies to move forward.
