The Roommate Workbook | Roommate Agreement and Chore Planner for ADHD and Autistic Young Adults | Printable PDF
Most roommate fights aren't really about the dishes. They're about the things nobody said out loud on move-in day: what "quiet" means, how much notice a guest needs, whether "clean the kitchen" includes the stove. 🍳
The Roommate Workbook helps you say those things early and kindly. It's made for ADHD and autistic young adults heading into a dorm, a first apartment or a house share, and for anyone who'd rather write it down than have the same argument five times.
What's inside (13 pages):
- How I live: your own sound, light, alone-time and "clean enough" needs, filled in privately first
- The house meeting: a short list of what to talk about, plus what you're flexible on
- Our house agreement: quiet hours, guests, shared food, smells, borrowing, with a "revisit on" column
- The chore split, with a column for what "done" actually looks like
- Shared money: rent, bills and the toilet paper question, all on paper
- Sensory survival plan: your quiet spot, noise plan and "not tonight, nothing personal" signals
- Is it worth raising? A calm way to sort the small annoyances from the ones to talk about
- Roommate scripts: dishes, noise, the guest who never left, borrowed stuff, needing space
- Monthly check-in
- Moving in + moving out checklist (photos, keys, deposit, whose stuff is whose)
- Cut-out door and fridge cards ("Recharging. Back soon.")
