I got diagnosed at 45. Dear god it was a relief to find out there's a neurological reason why being forced to/forcing myself to clean my spaces was something I did with massive effort, in tears, through the power of self-hatred, for the first 25-30 years of my life.

Also so much getting things stuck in other things.

Getting things stuck in other things?

Acorns in brick wall venting holes, pencil tips in softwood desks, toothpicks in toys...

Pencil tips in erasers so the eraser makes pencil marks as you erase?

Of course. And every eraser. Even after I'd long since learned that it's a bad idea. But that moment of the snap is so satisfying.
