My teenage son was diagnosed with ADHD as a kindergartner. He also has a bit of an intellectual disability. The problem is this--he is so dang MESSY. Like bad. I've tried different things over the years as consequences to no avail. He still does it. What I've observed is he struggles with putting things where they belong. For example, when picking up the living room, everything gets tossed on his bedroom floor. When cleaning his room, everything goes in the closet instead of in a place. He will help clean, but only if I help him and tell him each individual step and where to place each thing. It's A LOT of work on my part. Which can be tough. I have bipolar II disorder and struggle with low energy, lethargy, etc, a good bit. So my house is a constant disaster.

Anyone have any advice, tips, tricks, etc?
