Tackling mount washmore and had a mini rant about how putting his lordship’s stuff away FIFO so he gets even rotation was having a particularly trying battle today with my ASD “organise by textual feel so I can find on high sensitivity days”. And of course in swoops Le Dipshit going “Shouldn’t he be putting his own washing away??” like it’s some goddamn revelation previously unknown to man and a Great Strike For Equality.
aight, but he has raging ADHD so that part of his brain literally malfunctions. We’ve tried it. It don’t work. You gonna tell a fucking cripple to take the stairs ya fucken walnut?

As a mother of a teenager who doesn’t exactly put the clean clothes away as I’d like after lovely washing them and folding them, we have come to a compromise where t-shirts get hung up (by me) in the wardrobe and while I’m in there I collect as many coat-hangers as possible ready for the next load. This system might help you a little bit.
Also, who’s the French Dipshit?

oh we’ve tried many permutations over the past two decades. Current best worker is I kondo all the shit into his basket, stacked by location (that’s just an added structure pleasure for me right there) for him to put away and put away his socks and underpants in a fifo but easily visible for selection (sock fashionista) because he just cannot get a handle on it.
We’ve had a rough time of it lately so I figured I’d put away all his washing since I had spare spoons and that ended up in half an hour sorting his running gear and pyjamas because at some point his squirrel brain panicked and shoved everything into the nearest void. Found a pair of socks he’s been looking for since last year lol. We jive well on his running gear though 'cos I sort that by texture / purpose (eg: wicking / cotton / tank tops / lightweight jackets) so he knows what vibe he’s after according to weather.

Let’s streamline this shit. Throw out all the socks. Buy 2 different kinds of socks. Say workout socks and everyday socks but buy 20 pairs of each. When they are washed they get thrown in a draw.
If he needs dress socks, buy a couple and put them away safely.

That’s punishing the disability though. You make accommodations with neurodivergence. Dude loves his patterned socks, and he shall have them.
He likewise accommodates me
