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?

  • Many autistic people have an executive disfunction, but not all. If I have enough time and peace, I can make my house spotless. But if it’s all chaotic around, I get stuck and feel like I can’t move with it. Sometimes I feel down and have no energy, feel like my body is wrong or made out of gel. Then I won’t do anything. Generally It’s a stereotype and I wouldn’t assess anyone wether they are autistic or not just on a single criteria like this one here. If your husband thinks he is autistic, it’s good to look into it, he may get tested or test himself online first to see how strong are his traits etc. there are tests like AQ50, RAADS, aspie quiz, catq, read mind in the eyes etc. results of these tests together may give some wider picture. But most definitive is just the diagnostic process. If needed and possible.
