I am in Australia, and I had an NDIS cleaner. she used to come once a week and my house was mostly pretty clean. I lost her, and now I have to apparently do the cleaning myself. I really am incapable of doing it. They told me that I am physically capable of doing it, so i have to do it. I can't do it. My house is a fucking mess. stupid government. Anyone have any suggestions? Like to get over the executive dysfunction crap? I tried habitica, and it worked for a short while, but now I'm back to chronic ED.

thanks.

lot of autists have good experience dealing with this with the help of psychoactive substance, not sure of the law/access to that in austrailia but stuff like a small dose of shrooms/weed/lsd etc. in combination with therapy has been shown to work wonders untangling the mess of internal problems we seem to have. a really good therapist/pyschiatrist should be open to the idea

    unfortunately, all that stuff is illegal here, and I don't want no drug charges :/

    I have an ex who really found herself with mushrooms. Not my thing at all, but I'm happy she is able to understand herself well that way.

    And for adhd, they generally prescribe stimulants.

    I know a lot of autists also find solace in cannabis or even alcohol.

    You gotta be careful with this stuff though. Addiction is fucking real, and it can really ruin your entire life and people around you. I don't know what you're really like, so I can't responsibly give you any safe advice on this topic other than to take the risks seriously.
