Do you straighten your desk?

Post Reply New Topic

Not sure if this is an autistic behaiour but everything on my desk at work has to go into a pattern on an angle or square
with everything else. If the slightest movement is made from bumping something I will immediately straighten it back out again.
My kitchen table on the other hand is a zone of permitted chaos, where I can throw everything in a pile to be forgotten about.
I find myself repeating this in other places as well. Some areas need to be arranged in a certain way all of the time, others I don't care at all.
Do you ever find yourself doing this?

Yes, eberrything needs to be parallel or perpendicular to something else or at a certain angle, and if anything moves, it needs to go back to its position and orientation.

Yes i have this as well. I have one square basket with some nail care items and it is always on the same spot, i also have fake flowers and candles that stand perfectly (i even measured out their location). Fortunately for me this goes on into every other aspect of my life so it's always clean around me

My entire house is this way. Be it a table, chair, dresser, desk or anything else, it has to be arranged just so. I could always tell if my friend touched anything in my room (especially looking through my music collection) because things wouldn't be exactly how I arranged them.

No, things are rather messy on my desk.

When I was in elementary school, I couldn't, for the life of me, straighten my desk without some amount of verbal prompting, and sometimes with somebody else helping me straighten my desk.

I don't have a desk now.

every one of my things has a place. its part of why its hard for me to get new things.

I knew where everything was so there was no reason the straighten out the desk. Still the case.

My computer table has only two feet's and the other part rests on my drawer.
It keeps sliding after awhile exposing the white part of the drawer and it bugs the hell out of me if I notice it.
I straighten it immediately when I notice it, but my desk is not clean or neat by any means
