is messiness related in any way to any kind of aspergers?

I totally relate ! I'm a produce Manager in a small grocery store. My head boss came to check to see if I needed anything. He drives to all the stores to do this every few weeks. When he came into my back room it was a mess.... To him! Not me! I knew exactly what I was doing and always get my work done. He told me I need organizational skills.i don't understand because I knew why I put certain things in certain places and it makes sense to me. To everyone else I'm completely unorganized.

Executive Function Disorder is a fairly common comorbid condition for those on the Asperger's/Autism spectrum of disorders. Unfortunately, I have always had this, so my life is always in at least some chaos. Some on the spectrum are super organized instead. Too bad I'm not one of them.

When I was younger I was always obsessively lining up and displaying my collections. Now I seem to be messier than ever and get tired and frustrated extremely easily when I try to tidy and organize things.
