Living in a Straw House Built by Undiagnosed Neurodivergence: A Family's Memoir and Framework For Weathering Storms with Compassion and Clarity (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798275734331)

What if everything you thought was "wrong" with you... wasn't?

For most of her life, Lish Greiner pushed forward with determination-through therapy, journaling, spiritual practices, and the sheer willpower required to stay afloat. On the outside, she appeared capable and composed. But beneath the surface, something was always fraying. It wasn't until her daughter's struggles intensified that the hidden pattern finally came into view: undiagnosed neurodivergence had been shaping their lives all along.

Living in a Straw House Built by Undiagnosed Neurodivergence is an intimate "decoded memoir" that tells two stories at once: the lived reality of a mother and daughter navigating life without the language for autism and ADHD, and the reflective insight that comes only after finally having the right words. It's a book about survival and expansion, morning overwhelm and unexpected grace, and the slow, steady reconstruction that happens when you finally understand your brain instead of fighting it.

Told with honesty, compassion, and the kind of insight that only comes from lived experience, this memoir is for:

• Those who feel misunderstood or misdiagnosed

• Parents trying to support a neurodivergent child while navigating their own wiring

• Partners and families weathering storms that never quite make sense

• Late-diagnosed adults seeking clarity, validation, and relief

Through raw storytelling and thoughtful reflection, Lish offers both a mirror and a map: a reminder that you are not broken-and a framework for rebuilding a life with understanding, accommodations, and self-honoring choices that finally fit.

For anyone who has ever felt like too much or not enough, this book is a love letter and a lantern. It shows what becomes possible when a straw house gives way to something stronger.
