Difficulty staying tidy

I'm autistic and 27 and I'm with parents, I find it really hard to tidy/clean my room, I feel better when my stuff is surrounding me and kinda feel safer, but it really annoys my parents, is this just a me thing?

If you feel safe and comfortable in the mess and it's only in your room I don't really see a problem with it. If you're likely to trip over things and hurt yourself or if it could be a fire risk then obviously that could be a problem. Otherwise it just sounds like your parents being a bit over-controlling.

However I am a believer that if you live in somebody else's house you need to try and respect their wishes
But as long as it is clean and doesnt breed germs could you ask that you manage your own space for yourself
