How to Keep House While Drowning is a book by KC Davis that I am currently reading with the young adults in my membership! 

We already had a book club for parents and a book club for kids, but our kids that are becoming young adults felt a little left out.

And I couldn't think of a better book to start with because "adulting" can be really hard when you are a young neurodivergent adult!

Actually it can still be hard if you consider yourself an old neurodivergent adult!

But it is much harder before we gain much self-knowledge and learn to drop the guilt and baggage from the careless comments of others such as "You are so lazy!"

 Join me as I share some hacks I've used to help me figure out how to keep house while drowning!
