If you have ADHD you should make special efforts to keep your place cleaner than average, at least in my experience.

Sorry, but no. If my place is tidy I'll manage to trash it before making breakfast. If it's not that tidy it'll stay that's way.

I thrive in chaos. Too controlled and I'll start intentionally wreck shit just for a hint of dopamine, too chaotic and I'll start organising things (again, dopamine).

In 33 years that's what functions best for me and the other ADHDers I know.

But it's far more of a spectrum disease than people think and there are a ton of flavors to ADHD.
