keeping a routine

NAS37690

i’ve wanted to ask other asd people, why it is you like to keep a routine?? i think i have always unconsciously wanted to but i know i can get obsessive about them. eg, i something i wanted to bring up is my eating. usually people say food is a staple in routine but my eating can change. my throat closes up and i lose any desire to eat. my stomachs feels full. i’ve had eating disorders in the past which i think this played a part in it. i suppose then this is 2 questions in one. how do you think is good to deal with this eating problem, as well as my yearning for a routine when my instability physically prevent me from stick to them.

  • I like to keep a routine in terms of the activities that I am doing on  day to day basis largely so that I know what I am doing. It's easier for me if my days and weeks are planned out in advance. Then I don't have to sit around, internally flailing around wondering what I should do with myself. I get really thrown if a set routine changes. For example, I had been going to an Autism and SEN tots group with my youngest daughter on a Tuesday but they have now changed the day to  Wednesday, when she's at Nursery, so we can't go anymore. That really threw me a few weeks ago when I found out about the change, in fact it's still bothering me slightly now!
