Reviewed: 12-26-22
This book has great recommendations for organizing kids in general. Many of the things recommend in the book I am already using for organizing my family. Unfortunately I can’t recommend this book to anyone new to navigating neurodivergent kids because of all the ableism. I was trying to give the outdated terminology a pass (Asperger’s and PPD) as glaring examples, even though the author discusses the DSM-5 which got rid of these ableist categories, but then mid book the author recommends some “fun spontaneity” for rigid kids which made me cringe and reminded me of traumatizing ABA therapy recounting from Autistic adults. The organization is fine, but the book would have been better if the author left neurodiverse kids out of it and approached organizing for kids more broadly.
