Having trouble cleaning my room

I’m 14 with asd and I have struggled with keeping my room clean for a while. I want to be able to have my space clean and relatively tidy, but it’s just so difficult. It feels so overwhelming and like I can never get it under control. Any tips?

  • hi! I’m 16 and have asd, and also struggle keeping my room clean so understand where you’re coming from. When it’s disorganised it stresses me out and is overwhelming to look at. But, I always enjoy planning out what I need to clean eg making to do lists or planning out what I’m going to put in certain places, I think this really helps me. I know it can be really hard to even know where to start but maybe try and set some time aside, put some music on if you like, and declutter a bit. good luck :)
