Autism & house keeping

Hey im autistic & im struggling to keep my home tidy & I don't understand y i thought autistic peeps were tidy peeps

So im wondering if u can get autistic peeps that r untidy

  • 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.
