Does anyone else have this issue? It’s genuinely horrific.
One is 11 the other 18. Seems to start around age 10 and o can’t work out is this connected to asd and some kind of sensory thing ?
Personally id want to have things clean and in order but they are living in absolute pits.
I’ve tried from a young age to have a few jobs that need to be done each day
-make bed
-open curtains
-cups etc taken to dishwasher
Rarely gets done unless I nag.
There is stuff everywhere so I supplied laundry baskets - clothes still just all over the floor.
Lists and promoting aren’t helping
Make up- everywhere - smeared on stuff and a mess. Seems to be lots of mixing stuff up, wiping it where it shouldn’t be as a result carpets and furniture are ruined
Doing nails- I remind to put a towel out and it doesn’t happen and gets all over everything same with older dd and nail glue it’s all over her carpet which is ruined now
On many occasions I’ve had a whole day I’m each room and had got bags full of rubbish yet within a week it’s a mess again even with lots less stuff they seem to produce mess out of nowhere ? Make up, pens, paints etc
Is there anything I can do ? Is this part of asd is it sensory or disorganisation?
I’ve tried to help them deal with this independently with lists and help and prompting but it ends up causing tension
I would appreciate any advice thanks
