Are people with ASC always neat and organised

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"try" to be and do enjoy organising and tidying things up but I'm not always neat and organised, I try but it doesn't always work out and over time my room will begin to get in such a mess that eventually normally on a Saturday or Sunday I blitz it and go on this massive clean up operation.

    The only thing that I manage to keep neat and organised are my books and CDs. Both are sort of prized items I own and I am very OCD about them being neat and organised.

    Since I was little I have always been an organised person and liked things neat. My parents both remember me always placing my toys neatly and in order, I would keep colouring pens in a straight line and I was forever making sure my clothes were neatly folded. I'm still like it now with my items, I always try to keep eveyrthing organised though it doesn't always happen.
