Who is messy and lazy to clean up rooms?

My youngest NT daughter, to answer your question!

The only time I clean and keep things clean and tidy is when I'm properly medicated.

I find that I'm also able to work on writing my book, do dishes and housework, work on personal projects and play games without getting too frustrated.

My attitude is superb and everyone in the house is happy as a result.



When I am not properly medicated, things can get a little rough. I don't clean very well, if at all. It's difficult to get me to do dishes, clean or cook. I don't like to bathe, shower or get wet. I don't eat well because of nausea. My anxiety is constant and ever present about everything. My attitude pretty much destroys the household attitude and there's a lot of grumpiness throughout the days.


Needless to say, I tend to keep myself medicated.

I follow the advice of a much cherished, deceased auntie: Why clean? It's only going to get dirty again. Better to head off to the library and learn something...unless the Board of Health is banging at your door.

I have to force myself to clean my apt. I am often totally avoiding it.

My mother often tells me my room is a wreck. But I don't notice, I think it looks rather nice. The only thing that might be bothersome is the fact that I have stacks of books, notebooks, etc. on my bed and I always sleep with them all piled up around me because I like being around them. It's just more comfortable.

Otherwise when I get something out I often leave it without putting it back, especially food. My mother has given up trying to make me clean up after myself. No matter how much she reminds me it never crosses my mind.

My personal spaces tend to be very cluttered. My desk at work, and most of the basement at home. I think I am actually more comfortable in a cluttered mess, as long as it's MY cluttered mess.

I live a fairly cluttered and unkempt lifestyle. I have had room where I just throw clothing and other things on the floor. I have a closet and I have a bar filled with empty hangers and a floor with a stack of all sorts of things. But I have one thing which I am somewhat obsessive about cleaning my car. I detail it whenever I can and try to wash it whenever it gets a bit dirty. I'll spend 6 hours detailing my car from steam cleaning carpets to polishing and waxing yet, I won't spend five minutes hanging up clothing, or any of the other stuff on my floor.

Im can be lazy when it comes to cleaning my room. Nearly 27 and my mum stills gives me grief about it. Get over it.

I don't clean up as often as I used too. I take it less seriously while still doing it occasionally.

I am not the tidiest person, but I feel confident and sure that I can bring people to my home and things would be perfectly habitable for them.

Untidiness of home and living space is common in Aspies. I have found it is often extreme. Executive dysfunction is indeed the reason.

I am one of the most organized, cleanest people there is.

The best colution for messiness I know of: Have only a tiny, minimal amount of belongings. Works every time. Just dont keep objects in the room and throw stuff out a lot.

The tidiest I have ever been was when I was backpacking: Only a backpack to worry about. Paradise.

The closet, book cases, walls, and floor have all been improperly assigned the maximum amount of "junk," and now my bed is filling up with stuff. There is stuff EVERYWHERE. Does this explain the problem well enough?

I am organized in areas which I think are important, a neat room or an orderly desk is not on list of important issues. I just ignore the state of the room or I better: i do not care. Reading a book or the newspaper is more important than washing up a cup if I could find a clean one. This causes often conflicts with my lover, but anyway mostly we arrange a compromise.

NTs seem to have a stronger dependency on such superficial issues, like an ironed shirt or a clean floor.
