If I had one wish, it wouldn’t be for money, success, or even more hours in the day. My one wish is that ADHD was understood by everyone. Not tolerated. Not brushed aside. Truly understood.

In this episode of Backpacking Through ADHD, I take the “Make a Wish” hat and use it to explore what life could look like if our kids, partners, colleagues, and communities actually got it. We’ll unpack the myths that keep us stuck, share the heartbreak of being misunderstood, and celebrate the small moments when wishes come true—when someone finally sees us clearly.

You’ll hear personal stories from my own ADHD journey and from parenting my son, Grayson, along with reflections on how we can turn wishes into action—whether that’s advocating at school, building neurodiverse-friendly workplaces, or simply listening with more empathy.

Because wishing alone won’t change the world. But when we share our wishes, we begin to create the understanding we’ve been longing for.

Tune in and ask yourself: What’s your ADHD wish right now?
