Autism & house keeping

I've always thought people who have clean and tidy homes must live dull lives.  In our house we seem to accumulate clutter and theres always piles of washing everywhere. Theres onlynthe two of us here. My partner says he breaks tasks down into threes to make them more manageable. I was watching Yo Samdy Sam on youtube...there's a few videos about executive function. I seem to do housework when I feel like it..if I'm in the mood I can do a thorough job.

I'm going to employ two strategies from these videos and see how I get on..

I'd love to live on a boat then I could get rid of most of my possessions. I think the modern world gives us too much stuff which we don't need.

Absolutely - my sister's house is immaculate and totally devoid of any evidence of people living there - like a show-house on a boring development - but she has no hobbies or interests or pass-times.    The highlight of her week is Strictly.

Poor her! Different strokes for different folks though isn't it. 

I always find it interesting on these cleaning programmes how they depict the untidy person to learn lessons from the other one who is really tidy. It's never the other way round. Like cleanliness and tidiness is what you should be aiming for. I kind of think, if it's not harming yourself or anyone else, if one wants to live in a pigsty that's entirely ones choice.

the 'super-tidiers' are always sanctimonious, jealous types who preach "cleanliness is next to godliness".         Whatever.     I've got better things to do than shove Henry around.
