Autism & house keeping

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!

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.

Good on you that you've done the basement! I had a strangely productibe cleaning day a week ago, enjoyed it and fekt very satisfied. I'm going to try and replicate it!

glad you felt satisfied with your cleaning... i'm at the point if i don't want to do something, it's an issue. i guess the trick is finding the things one is good at.
