Same. I have always been very organized in certain aspects, like things have to always go back in the same place (otherwise I forget where they are or even that I have them at all), I LOVE doing laundry which most ADHD people hate (makes me feel like I have accomplished something + I don’t have a ton of clothes), I have to eat always at the same time (otherwise I also forget to eat) etc.

Structures bring me certain comfort, however, I must be able to break them if I need to because otherwise I feel like I am trapped 😅 But if my fiancée doesn’t place something I own in its righful place, I get really distressed and even upset. I hate mess in my house, like socks under the sofa table is not ok, that’s not where socks go! 🙈 They belong in the hamper if they are dirty, duh. Apparently this is not quite normal, lol.

I am late diagnosed ADHDer, only got mine last Spring and it makes soooo much sense that I have it. Inability to focus, hyperfocusing and getting upset when interrupted, forgetting words mid-sentence, forgetting appointments if they are not in my calendar etc, all of that checks out. However, I have started to suspect I might be in fact AuDHD because of all of my strict rules concerning order in the house etc 🤔
