100% this is my struggle.

I want things to be orderly because walking into a chaotic place is mentally stressing for me. I feel overwhelmed by things in the way, I am stressed when trying to find things, and I feel like all the things left out are just more things that need to be done when I already have a lot of things to do. This overstimulation causes my brain to just short circuit and shutdown.....

For me I respond to stress with object blindness. If I can't immediately fix something my mind Will literally redact it away to the point that inconveniently places boxes on the floor will be stepped over for weeks until I eventually trip on it and it becomes relevant again.
