Default What values do you prefer to live for?
I had the values of honesty and hardwork instilled from a very early age …

At least /worst I’m able to sleep with a clear conscience ( if the leg pain allowed me to )

Do you find that you being on the spectrum makes you value that kind of uncompromising honesty more than the average person anyway?

Very much so .. .. I am a perfectionist so I’m constantly striving for perfection but I have sooooo many flaws and that’s very difficult to cope with ..

Yeah, I only strive for perfection in cleaning. Otherwise I can refine myself but not to the point where I’m killing myself over any minor defects or flaws (which everyone has).

And even in cleanliness I’m not always all that. I still wear face-masks and carry antibacterial hand-gel and stuff with me when I’m not in the bathroom bleaching stuff so there’s no question of me not getting a 99.9-something% pass-rate in most areas of hygiene but in terms of how I live day-to-day I am somewhat cluttered (I’m more clean than personally-organised in a way that would look much better than average to others). You just can’t win, you know.

I have a man-cave and ideally I like it to be pristine but of late things have been complicated and it’s being used as a dumping ground for all my precious gadget related stuff and also the hoarded stuff - so currently it looks like Aladdin’s Cave with stuff crammed in everywhere all around my PC and chair .

I can cope with this chaos temporarily - as it’s MY chaos

One day I’ll sort everything out
