Autism & house keeping

bex

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 

Parents

  • Having lived in a 3 bedroom house for 15 years then having to downsize to a 1 bedroom was overwhelming. I have strong attachments to things and have trouble throwing things out. 

    The council had to step in and empty the house for me, 30 van loads disposed of and a bill of £620 I had to pay.

    My new place ive managed to get my living room tidy, my kitchen is ok its my bedroom that hides the chaos, boxes piled to the ceiling I can just get into my double bed.

    I try and go through a box or a bag when I can bring myself to do so, I know myself it needs to be gone I'd feel happier knowing its tidy as I worry what people say if they saw the mess but its hard to get a plan in action and sticking to it
