I love ordering and tidying, but can't get round to anything else: dishes, garden/jungle, paintwork, mold, DIY, etc. My best AS mate is the opposite, all the jobs done but total chaos. My other AS mate washes the saucepans etc before sitting down to eat, that's how visciously on top of everything he is. Then two others aren't on top of the jobs or the tidying, but know whete everything is. They've def got Executive Functioning problems, one wants to change but knows she can't, the other sees no problem at all, in fact is perplexed anyone thinks differently!

I need clean surfaces to cook. I wash as I cook so it's mostly or done before I eat. I need bullet points, order, nothing on the walls... this seems to be a more aspie trait maybe. For me, it's because there is SO much constantly in my head I need an ordered world.
there's one of me... good at cooking and cleaning dishes, shopping for food. bad at diy, mopping, vacuuming, garden, organizing, paperwork, etc. i'm trying to organize, though, and have recently organized my basement. i'm finding, finally after a lot of help, i can kind of organize now, although cleaning itself is a drudgery.
so i avoid cleaning, pretty successfully. i can't have people in my home, though. too embarassing.
