am clumsy, but I don't view being clumsy as having a direct connection to chores. I bump into things, drop stuff, walk into door frames etc whether I'm carrying out household chores or not.
I may have mentioned this before, but things have an annoying tendency to leap out of my hands and throw themselves against the floor.I dunno I just mess up simplest thing like cleaning the dishes up and destroy things around me and it makes me go insane
This isn't just autism, but it's actually more about aging: We replaced our stoneware dishes and drinking glasses with plastic ones because both my husband and I were dropping a lot of pieces and breaking them.
If you break a lot of things, it makes sense to mitigate the losses.
I’m still not clear on what the OP is actually saying/asking. He says he has problems and messes up and destroys things when he does chores. He hasn’t said anything about liking or disliking them. Maybe he will come back and clarify.
Good question. Is this about failure at the expectations of others or something else?
I'm apt to think that many people approach a task done for other people somewhat differently than a task that they choose to do for themselves. Could it have something to do with that consideration? I'm not sure either.
One thing for sure, I'm apt to stress much more about a task involving another's expectation than my own. Though agreed with other comments that I don't see this as a specific trait or autistic behavior.
Or maybe executive dysfunction. Many autistic people struggle with initiative, breaking routine, and focusing. We’re well known for being unable to clean, cook, brush our teeth, etc. on our own. Perhaps this is the OP’s problem.
