Autism and ADHD are two completely different things things, some consider that if you have adhd you are on the spectrum because they do have overlapping symptoms, but others believe you can not be both. With current definitions, everyone in the entire world sits somewhere on the spectrum, yet only 6.3% of people have adhd, and 5% of those dont know they have it, so I would say that no they are co.pletely separate and can not be both, and if it was it would be so hard to tell as they share symptoms

I think that the biggest issue Garret is facing is not having enough storage. If he for example got a shelf for his bedroom where he'd display all of his action figures, then it's (a little bit) more likely that when he gets a new action figure, it'll go straight to its dedicated space rather than end up on the nightstand. A really easy way to store things in their cathegories is by buying one of those IKEA shelves with the squares, get the little boxes for them and have each box for a specific cathegory. Garret likes to keep things from his childhood, so one of the boxes could be for that. One for extra electrical stuff, etc. But as Garrett has a lot of things that he thinks are cool and worth a display, he definitely lacks shelves and space to display them on.

Garrett, from one maximalist on the spectrum to another, I have a serious tip for you: FLOATING SHELVES and BOOKSHELVES. Just load up your walls with floating shelves and stick some bookshelves underneath, and BOOM: organized chaos. I have like 8 themed bookshelves and 4 themed floating shelves, and it helps SO MUCH with keeping the floor clean and keeping my room looking cute. You could really benefit from trying it!! Trust me it's so fun organizing each shelf with its own little theme!!

I had something similar not long ago. My aunty passed away 2 months ago and on the 10th of may I had to put my cat down who was literally my whole world. I walked into my bedroom 2 days ago and just sat on the floor and cried silently so my sister didn't hear me. But she's my guardian angel here on earth and she turned up and sat on the floor and cried with me. We go through cleaning and tidying my room because it was chaos. And 2 nights ago, I had a really good sleep for the first time in well over a year. My apologies for trauma dumping in this comment section I'm just a bit sad and have shut myself off from everyone and find it so much easier to talk to strangers in a relatively safe space. Okay sorry I'll shut up now. Thanks for listening if you got this far.

I struggle with laundry everywhere too but SPECIFICALLY my book collection and candle collection (bad combo). before i got a full tall bookshelf, i put my books on a three-tier cart (like the ones you put in your bathroom), on the floor, in a box, just so many books. and i can't get rid of them because they're like dear friends to me, i know i read them already but they're precious. i think i'll get another bookshelf in the future, my dream is to have a whole room dedicated to my personal library. anyway, my autism makes me behave like a dragon that needs to collect things. i'm getting interested in legos, it will be a problem. also unrelated but i would 10000% follow a garrett gaming channel or livestream, i love love video games too

"My brain doesn't come home and go time to unpack and put things where they go cuz things don't go where they go." The most relatable sentence I've ever heard

“once something gets to a space you just think it lives there” is so so real.

I missed the sassy lady who drinks coffee. I’m glad to see her back. Great job with your room Garrett❤️ I have the kind of ADHD that’s VERY organized and I’m OCD personality oriented , love seeing people re-organize and clean

no no you absolutely DO deserve to play mad max after all of that. as a fellow person with adhd, the all or nothing mentality is so real. I'd have been overwhelmed by the clothes too. honestly the fact that you were still able to contain them to trash bags and shut the door of your closet is a HUGE win. especially after spending SEVERAL hours on the rest of your room, and then attempting to tackle it at 4am. an adhd cleaning spree like that will make you feel sluggish and exhausted for days later, and I've had so many people tell me to just pace myself and slow down with it but the sad reality is that my brain just doesn't work that way and keeping my room at a maintainable standard is something I spend SO much energy trying to do because when I start cleaning I don't want to stop until everything sparkles. I know the shame of "well I kind of cheated in this way..." but as far as I can tell you still absolutely took care of the most pressing issue. the sorting and coming up with a system can happen later, and you could always do another video on that! I know you presented that as a joke, but in case you (or others watching) feel real guilt or shame about marking something complete when you took a "shortcut", you shouldn't. You took a real big step toward getting it done and at least out of the way (which was probably distressing to even face). And frankly even if you hadn't, and you'd just fallen asleep instead of touching the pile of clothes -- you still did SO MUCH WORK and deserve rest!! Anyway, this is just my two cents as someone who struggles very similarly to you. I've just been working overtime for years now to rewire my brain a bit and hopefully help lessen the guilt and shame of it all because any progress still counts as progress and should be celebrated. (And also thanks for showing this kind of thing on the internet too because so many cleaning videos will show the smallest amount of clutter and act so embarrassed about it and it takes 5 minutes to make it sparkle and then it can make people like me feel so much more ashamed about the way I exist) ok I love your videos bye

Ай бұрын

I'm so sorry to hear you've been struggling, just know you're not alone and you are not less human because of it! If you want some practical advice, I highly recommend thrifting (or straight up buying) bookshelves or floating shelves. It keeps your mess off of the floor, and it incentivizes you to organize the things you put *on* those shelves. This method took my room from a hoarding nest to an organized chaos that I simply love to look at! If you can't afford any shelving at the moment, that's okay! There are still a couple of things you can turn into habits. 1) Before you leave your room to get something, take 2 things out (one for each hand). This can help you clean up trash, dishes, or general misplaced clutter. Think of it as efficiency in emptying your space, NOT as cleaning. 2) If you do decide to clean, always start with trash first. Just find anything you can throw away and get rid of it. Once you get the trash done, go clothes second. You don't have to fold them or be neat about it, just move your clothes into one spot (pile if you have to) and get that out of the way. THEN you start with the littler things, like one box or corner at a time. If that still doesn't help, I recommend you watch the channel Midwest Magic Cleaning. The guy who runs that channel is proudly autistic and he uses his love of cleaning to clean other people's homes for free, and he especially loves to help hoarders in a respectful and empathetic way. You could really learn a lot about self-kindness from him, as even he understands how it feels to sometimes get overwhelmed and messy. I think you would really love him. Best of luck to you

I have to help my partner clean his place once a year. I get it cleared. You can see the floor then within weeks the floor starts getting covered again. I thought he was being disrespectful to me at first & I used to get frustrated but he would get upset & couldn't help it. Hes not lazy as he runs his own business & hes working constantly. Since looking after my dad full time with a progressive brain disease, I too have started to leave stuff in my bedroom & things stay in place for over a week. Yet my dad's room is clean & spick & span . I cant help it. Love how you are & who you are. You are a breath of fresh air ❤

Ok. I got 2 tips for the clothes. 1- have two laundry baskets, one for clean clothes one for dirty. Get ‘em in different colors. Clean basket’s empty? Time to do laundry 2- for the sheer amount of clothes, especially when they’ve been sitting on the ground a while…I wash the whole pile. Clean, dirty, who knows who cares. EVERYTHING. Will it take multiple loads? Multiple days? Probably. But as each load comes out of the dryer, I’ll have what I call a “fashion show” Basically I take each piece out and try it on. Does it fit and do I still like it? Immediately folded and put into drawer. Don’t like it, or doesn’t fit? Into the Goodwill doom pile in my living room. I make it a game…”how many clothes can I fold before this show/podcast/song ends?”

Rinse and repeat then everything will get done. Don’t overwhelm yourself. A little at a time and before you know it you’re back to having a clean sanctuary. Now I need to listen to my advice bc my room, she’s a mess 😬

Garrett!! I have legit advice for adhd cleaning! (And keep in mind I know this is for a video but if you ever want to clean up real real thoroughly.) Okay SO you have to work with your brain and not against it. Adhd craves “finishing” a task so instead of doing the small or easy thing, do whatever you can do that you can 100% finish and then the success will carry you to the next task! Oh and also locking yourself in a room and using boxes to “sort” stuff that belongs out of the room helps keep you focused since you won’t have to leave the room to put the thing away! Hope that helps! It definitely helps me 😅 love your videos dude, keep being a sweet boy Also ps WHERE DID OUR SWEET BOY PODCAST GO??! GARRETT!!

I've always beat myself up over it, thinking I should do better and be better by now but it never changes. I deep clean every few months and just watch the room fall back into disrepair every time. I've just learned to accept it and now I clean whenever motivation strikes and I've started to buy lots of different furniture (floating shelfs and book shelfs mainly) to openly display my figurines and trinkets properly. As for the pile of handbags and backpacks I own, my mom came up with the brilliant idea of attaching a metal chain to the outside of my closet and then putting small hangers into the loops of the metal chain so I can hang all the bags over each other in a straight line!! I love it so much. Sorry this comment is very long but I'm excited to see I'm not alone in this.

Garrett absolutely killing it with uploads this year!!

Whenever I struggle with cleaning I try to remind myself that I deserve a clean space ❤️

i was already taking care of cleaning my disaster space when i got distracted and got on youtube. this vid popped up just in time. not only is garrett comfy background noise, this is such good content to clean to! also, i love and hate how much i relate to garrett when it comes to how my living space is. it's so nice to see someone being real about this so i don't feel so alone and awful. thank you for showing us this part of your life, man.

Surprisingly made me motivated to clean 😅 Love you, Garrett.

Everytime I watch your videos it’s like looking at an alternative dimension version of myself and it is so comforting honestly

i’ve been stuck in my bedroom hovel (very messy oops) for the past few weeks eating cheese&pickle sandwiches, playing pokémon and rewatching Adventure Time🤠🤠 buttttttt I finally tidied my room whilst watching this video and it felt HELLA good to imagine that I’m not alone through it, thanks lovely Garrett 🫶(hoorah!!!)

the genuine thanks i have to give to you for sharing this as someone who cannot bring any ounce of energy to clean my room, i feel so much less shame. thank you

I love your neurodivergent brain. You might not realize it, but you’re making a safe place for other neurodivergent people to release shame attached to living in a society that wasn’t made for them and does not accommodate them. You’re doing great❤

Omg Garrett YESSSS you should totally become a voice actor!!! That would be so perfect for you ❤ also I have ADHD so this was basically just like watching myself for 30 minutes straight 😂

The real issue is ADHD. It's hard to stay focus and get your house clean due to the distractions. WE LOVE YOU ANYWAY!!!

My favourite things in my room are my crochet axolotl and crochet teddy bear i made, as well as this picture I printed of Anakin Skywalker that is sticky taped to my dresser! I put a lot of my silly knickknacks and old stuff in boxes or stuff them in my closet too, Garrett. Watching this makes me wonder if I should clean it all out and start fresh for the next few years, but I too have attachment to my things so probably not! Thanks for this insightful, validating and totally real video, Garrett. I loved it, good job!

made me so happy to see the professor and kind words about watcher, they are my favorite channel ever aside from yours and a couple other honorable mentions like jolly and such!!! i love puppet history so much and i love all of their shows and i love you as dino dad on the show!!! i hope you guys make more soon. i miss the show so much!!! i hope there are more episodes with you and the crew soon. anywho thanks for the great vid guy i LOVED this one!

Garrett you are so inspiring! I need to organize DESPERATELY so thanks for giving me motivation king!! 🥹🫶🏻

the intro is my favorite thing ever, i just know it represents his brain so perfectly😭

GARRETT!! I am having horrible guilt over my insane bedroom right now and I’ve been sitting on the couch for the past two hours trying to get up and start on it. This was so validating I freaking love you man thanks for filming these things so I feel less alone ❤️

You aren't alone at all. I'm still trying to get motivated cuz I have literally zero energy. It truly is harder than ppl may think, wish me luck!

Fam I NEED you to make this a series of sorts. I also struggle with keeping my space clean and this is suuuuuper helpful as a body-double! Like we're both cleaning and on facetime with each other haha

I always see the notification when a new Garrett video drops and even tho I’m excited to watch it I’m such a procrastinator and just finally watched it lmao I love these videos and they remind/motivate me to clean my room up too! My room is such a cluster of things I love! It’s normally a mess but it’s fineeee! I love ghosts so I collect anything ghost related for my room, which also means I do most my home decor shopping during spooky season.

11:02 a good cleaning tip especially if you don’t want to leave the room (and get distracted and start doing another task etc) is to bring boxes into the room/space that you’re cleaning (one box for every room/space that you are cleaning) then you can put everything in their assigned box (which should not be in the room/space that you are cleaning) and then you take the boxes to the next room and sort them as you go, it’s very helpful with time management; I often find myself going forwards and backwards to each room when I’m cleaning so this helps speed things along in that regard too :)

Garrett freaking out about his place being a mess? Must be a Wednesday...

These videos actually really help me. I like to tidy alongside videos like this but a lot of cleaning videos online the space they are cleaning is already so tidy and it ends up discouraging me. Videos like this help me realise I’m not alone, so thank you :)

I watched this and now I feel like today is finally the day to sort out my spare bedroom full of clothes I should have put away a long time ago. Thank you Garrett!

Garrett I loved helping you clean your room in a way!!! You did so good!
