Are people with ASC always neat and organised

Beware anyone who makes definitive statements about all autistic people, they will invariably be wrong. Autism is a spectrum, so a wide variety of behaviours are found among autists, some will be contradictory. Personally, I like things to be neat and tidy, but in practice I am disinclined to clear up other family member's mess, so the house remains horribly untidy. 

I can relate to this Martin! Unfortunately eventually it bugs me too much and I have to sort it

My bookshelves are always well-ordered, I find consolation in that. If I try to tidy anyone else's things up I invariably get scolded, so I do not. I occasionally explode about the piles of random things, like footwear in the hall (how anyone not a centipede needs as many shoes and boots as my daughter, I fail to understand), but it has no effect.

Its a struggle I find, there are not too many places at home which I can properly police, just managed to get exclusive rights to my wardrobe :) I experience something similar with shoes, although its everybody in the house in my case. I usually end up tidying them up but doesn't take long for it to go back to exactly what it looked like before. It reminds me of the Greek myth Sisyphus, pushing the boulder up the hill, almost getting to the top for it roll back down the hill...
