In this episode of Decluttering Untangled, Heather Tingle explores the pressures of striving for a "perfect" neurotypical home and why it's time to let go of unrealistic expectations. Heather explains how neurodivergent individuals can create a home that truly works for them, rather than mimicking the pristine, minimalist aesthetic often seen on social media.
Heather dives into the differences between neurotypical and neurodivergent homes, shedding light on why traditional organisation systems and routines often don’t align with the needs of those with ADHD, autism, or other neurodivergent traits. She encourages listeners to redefine what “organised” looks like, focusing on accessibility and ease rather than aesthetics alone.
Here’s what's covered:
- Breaking the “Perfect Home” Illusion: Why we need to stop chasing after homes that look neurotypical, clutter-free, and completely pristine.
- Why Insta-Worthy Isn’t Always Realistic: A look at why those picture-perfect homes often don’t work for neurodivergent brains, and how they can actually add stress instead of bringing comfort.
- Creating a Home That Works for You: Practical tips to make your space accessible and functional based on your needs, whether that means visible storage, unconventional routines, or personalised organisation.
- Redefining Beauty and Functionality: How to make your home feel welcoming and beautiful without sacrificing ease or piling on more unrealistic expectations.
- Sensory-Friendly Spaces: The importance of sensory comfort—like lighting, textures, and sounds—in creating a home that feels truly yours.
Listeners will come away with practical tips on:
- Creating systems that prioritise accessibility over appearance.
- Incorporating sensory-friendly elements to make their spaces more comfortable.
- Building routines that account for motivation, executive function challenges, and fluctuating energy levels.
- Embracing visible storage solutions and learning how to adapt them to look beautiful once the routine is established.
Heather’s insights offer permission to embrace a unique, personal approach to home organisation. Tune in for an empowering discussion on making your space a true reflection of yourself—free from the pressure to conform to neurotypical standards.
