my room is "clean" but my personal adhd clean where i put something somewhere because im a genius thatll remember it and then i look where it should be and its not there and im like well shit i guess its gone until i stumble upon it right where i needed it.

not until after i spend 30 minutes looking not where i needed it.

sometimes i completely clean my space and then ill stop thinking about it and kinda go about my day and suddenly 4 different unrelated activities are on my desk.

i just watched memento for a class and i kinda feel like the guy in memento except to a much much lesser degree

But then how do I remember the things I need to do if they are not all over the place? (I don't even know if I'm joking)

Yeah, I find it’s much easier to keep everything immaculate than it is to make my place kinda tidy.

I find that if there’s one object on the side that needs to be put away, it might as well be eight objects. So I’m either in a mindset where I put every single item away or none.

If you have ADHD you should make special efforts to keep your place cleaner than average, at least in my experience.

Sorry, but no. If my place is tidy I'll manage to trash it before making breakfast. If it's not that tidy it'll stay that's way.

I thrive in chaos. Too controlled and I'll start intentionally wreck shit just for a hint of dopamine, too chaotic and I'll start organising things (again, dopamine).

At the very least, rolling with it or especially having someone roll with what you have to throw at them/the world has to be somewhat rewarding.

One day brother

One day

It’s a pipe dream isn’t it? SOMEDAY…

If things are orderly then they're predictable.

I LOVE other things on a schedule, me on a schedule is a day ruining mental drain that gets me all spun out.

Canned psychologist answer to any absolute statement about ADHD or ASD: "it depends" and "sometimes but not always".
