The stereotype that men are terrible at executive household tasks and women are excellent at them is based on erasing women who don't fit that stereotype from the category of "real women." Instead of engaging in this simplistic heterosexual stereotyping, consider actual solutions that work for people of all genders and neurologies. Put up a white board for shopping lists so that no one has to remember them. Buy packs of socks of the same kind and color so they don't have to be matched. Be okay with getting clean dishes on an as-needed basis. Send holiday emails instead of cards. Solutions exist! And as usual, disabled people are at the forefront of them.
