@actuallyautistic #actuallyautistic Does it bother anyone else when someone folds your laundry for you? I do appreciate the effort and the intention, but half the time I have to go back and refold everything because it wasnβt folded the way I need it to be for me to put it away or organize it properly. I would rather just do all the folding myself lol. Idk, I know that probably seems selfish but it does irk me sometimes.
@chevalier26 @actuallyautistic I'm kinda the opposite on this issue... I wish I could have somebody wash and fold my laundry for me because when I do my laundry on my own, I wash single loads multiple times because I forget they're in the washer until they stink, I forget to pull things out of the dryer, I accidentally put things that can't go in the dryer in the dryer.... and by the time the fold and put away part of laundry comes, I feel so overwhelmed and done with the task that I tell myself I'm going to do it later, and then most of the time I don't do it at all until things start to feel too chaotic (and that takes awhile).
I just sorta live with piles of clothes everywhere (including my car because I travel regularly and there are clothes that are at this point clothes that live in the car and are only worn when away), and have so many clothes that I'm never quite sure where anything is but have a rough idea of where most things are. It's very easy to forget what I own.
My life runs on "systems". Saturday is laundry day, the washer takes 50 minutes for a load (sets timer on watch). When the timer goes off I put the washer clothes into the dryer, which takes 70 minutes to dry, put the second load into the washer (sets timer on watch)...
Repeat until the laundry is done, and I put it all away.
@ScottSoCal @chevalier26 @actuallyautistic I try so hard to do this, but inevitably I forget to set alarms and I'm an expert at alarm ignoring.
I think laundry is definitely an area where my ADHD dictates what happens over the autism.
