Advice on getting a bedroom tidied !

NAS86661

Hello there - my daughter (18) is autistic and is incredibly untidy. I would love to get her bedroom tidy as I know it will eventually benefit her.

Can anyone advise the best way to approach her about this,  without causing her stress and anxiety? Thank you!

  • I would firstly suggest that you let her do it in her own time. Doing it for might encourage a meltdown. It’s going to be a big change for her. Does she mind the mess? Is it actually ordered chaos? Everything has a place even if it isn’t neat and tidy? 
    You could encourage her to declutter one small area, like a drawer or desk. Perhaps one area a week and see how she copes.
