Chapter 1: What is the main topic of the ADHD vs Autism cleaning episode?
Welcome to ADHD versus autism cleaning edition the ultimate battle in the blue corner we have got ADHD clocking in with an empty pack of cleaning wipes and a lot of overwhelm and in the red corner we have got the autistic that's probably superior in cleaning in every way but we will see Right, well, you haven't really kept up the vibe, have you?
Welcome to the Late Bloomers podcast, where we are getting our lives together.
Eventually.
brought to you by our amazing sponsor, Loop Earplugs. We are back for another battle of the neurotypes. It is me, ADHD versus rich autism. This is the cleaning edition. We're going to go through 10 questions about how we clean. And the wonderful Max, our producer, our editor, our friend, is going to be judging based on the vibe of our answers. Are you ready to play?
There were some accusations in the last one that Max was slightly biased. So I want to address that off the bat.
I was going to say that I'm going to go into this with a completely neutral mindset.
Doesn't sound neutral. It sounds like you're going to go for rich just because, by the way, this was one person, one comment. All the other comments, and there were lots of them, said that they loved it. It was fun. They were on Rox's side. So I just want to say, don't be swayed, okay?
Shall I start?
No.

Chapter 2: How does anxiety influence cleaning habits for ADHD?
I don't know why you're thinking about this.
I'm thinking about it because obviously the natural reaction for me to, oh, I jump between tasks, but I think I'm like getting better at being in one room. Typically nowadays I do, I only clean on dubby live sessions. So I'm only, I can only clean every three hours. So that is a limitation, but I will join a dubby. And then I'll do the bedroom. I'll join a dubby. I'll do a kitchen.
So because my cleaning is only happening in a body doubling situation, I feel that keeps me very focused. If I try to clean something not while body doubling... I can get distracted. It's not so much that I switch between, between rooms, but I would go to take something back to another room and then get distracted and go off on tangents.
Um, but I do find that I'm, I'm pretty good at going room by room as long as there's a hundred people there doing it with me.
I've got a bit of a challenge to this.
Sure.
So I'm not disagreeing. You do, you do do one room at a time, but I, I'll be able to highlight the difference between me and you because I also do one room at a time.
The difference between me and you though, is if I'm doing one room at a time and say there's some dirty clothes or some clothes that need hanging up in the bedroom and I'm tidy in that bedroom, what I'll do is I'll go and hang them up or put them in the dirty washing room. Um, so I'm still one room, but I'll like go into the wardrobe and hang it up or put it in the day.
Like you, you will make other rooms worse. Like I've gone into your, like where you get ready room and I've seen just it, it was, it was tidy five minutes ago and now it's carnage. And it was because you were tiny in the bedroom.

Chapter 3: What cleaning strategies do people with autism prefer?
So I'm just going to take a moment. If you are neurodivergent, it's very likely that you also have sound sensitivity. What does that actually look like in real life?
that is standing at the train station hearing the train go past and just freaking out because it all feels too loud it's wanting to go to a gig in the evening but having pain in your ears it's being in a restaurant and trying to listen to your partner but you're picking up all of the sounds around you It can make you feel stressed out and it can kind of ruin the daily experience of being human.
So that is why we at the Late Bloomers podcast massively recommend loop earplugs. It's something that Rich and I use pretty much every day, at least whenever we go out of the house. Loop have got earplugs for every situation, including the Loop Quiet, the Loop Experience and the Loop Engage.

Right. Back with number six.
Round six.
You run out of a cleaning product you need for cleaning. What happens?
Oh, okay. So what I'd probably do. is adapt my cleaning forever from that point forward. So I'll give you an example. Let's say that I've always used a cloth and a spray to do the surfaces and I've run out of that spray. I then will look for a replacement in my immediate environment. Let's say that might be cleaning wipes or I would then just start using cleaning wipes.
When they run out, I'd look around, dog wipes, the dog paw wipes. I'd clean the kitchen with them. So I will adapt. I'll overcome. I'll find anything in my environment so I can do the cleaning. The one thing, and I understand it's complicated. Yeah. I wouldn't just walk to the shop and rebuy the spray.

Chapter 4: How do smells and textures affect cleaning experiences?
I think you're on the same team.
What are you saying? Draw.
I think it's a draw again.
Where does that put us points wise?
Four, three stays the same.
No, this is, guys, this can't be happening. So we're going into round 10 and Rich is one point ahead of me. So we're either drawing and going for the rock, paper, scissors, or it's a Rich win.
No, you're winning.
I'm winning. Oh, is that? Are you sure? I thought it went 4-3 to rocks on number eight. How does smells... Oh no, you gave it to me. Okay.
How long does your house stay clean after a big clean?
