Are people with ASC always neat and organised

NAS75657

I told my Mum that my husband believed he has Autism and my Mum said he can’t have as he’s disorganised and untidy, people with Autism are neat organised and methodical. Is this the case that people with ASC are neat, organised and methodical?

  • I am neat, organised & methodical but I don't believe all autistic adults are. As far as I'm aware, that isn't one of the traits used for diagnosis, and I also believe that problems with executive function are common in autistic people. If you are interested in learning more, go to the Advice and guidance section of this website and select "What is autism" ?

    Also, your husband could complete an AQ50 test online, which will give an indication of whether he is on the spectrum.
