Can't get my 14yo daughter to keep her room clean

You are not alone, my 17 year old son with ADHD is exactly the same. I felt better about when I realised his room was next level messy. This is not the mess of your standard teenager, it is the mess of someone with an executive functioning disorder. Once, I realised he is literally not able to keep his room tidy it took the emotion out of it. I scan the room for food scraps and wet clothes and then close the door. I have kindly reminded him that if he does not bring his clothes out to wash then that is up to him. This has actually worked over the last few months. I also recommend this book "Organizing Solutions For People With ADHD" which I borrowed from the library. It is never going to look pristine but with help she can get rid of the food scraps.

No she won't. She will continue to live in it and it's unhealthy.

Thank you I will check the book out. We spent hours cleaning it a week ago and within 4 days it was a pig sty again ☹️
