Disorganization
Another possible symptom of autism is disorganization, which is caused when your executive function is impaired. As a result, autistic people are unable to stay organized, transition smoothly, and manage their schedules efficiently. They have to use some special techniques to adapt. Several signs of executive dysfunction include losing personal items, forgetting to brush teeth, bathe, and do other self-care tasks, not remembering daily schedules, struggling to keep their home clean and organized, having trouble switching gears, and having many issues with time management.
