Yes, Sheila, on a serious level this is exactly what my difficult child struggles with always. In fact, she is not home this weekend and today I am attacked her room - to clear out all the crap she has collected and can't part with and to reorganize her closet so she can "hide' stuff in there when I tell her to clean her room. She is 17 and graduating HS, but it's easier if I just "have at it" 4 times a year than nag her to do it. And she actually will attempt to clean her room, but it seems she never makes much headway or a noticeable difference. It's more like she just reorganizes the 'stuff'. It looks like an abandoned room with a giant mound of clean clothes and a large pile of dirty ones - on either side of the room, but slowly encroaching on one another. There are papers, books and various items covering ever available spot of the dresser, vanity and desk/table. There's just stuff everywhere. Anyway, I'm motivated now - gotta get in there! Thanks for pointing out that it's not mere laziness but often an actual disability.
