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?

  • Sometimes I'm disorganised, sometimes it just looks that way and I'm always untidy, not on purpose, but I have hair that refuses to be styled, I always managed somehow to have lables sticking out, or my knickers tucked into my dress, yesterdays knickers stuck halfway down the leg of todays trousers. I do politically correct ironing...it comes out differently creased, if anything fall out of the sky it lands on me, if anything comes up from the earth, it sticks to me. I look at neat people and those who can fold a hoodie into the hood and put it away neatly with awe and wonder, if I tried that it would immediately become an octopus that not only wouldn't stayed contained itself but would lead a rebellion amoung all the other clothes in the drawer.

    I can be quite methodical when I need to be and know where things are in the organised chaos.

    But I remember the perfect fridge magnet saying for me.  "Boring women have tidy houses".
