CAN ASPERGER'S PEOPLE KEEP DIARIES?!! I CAN'T!

NAS77711

Hi, I was diagnosed in 2010 with Asperger's, at the age of 52.  I once heard a snatch of someone on the radio saying 'we Asperger's don't do diaries.'  I have appalling problems putting the appointments on the right month of the diary and the right date.  I try to join zoom lessons on the wrong day etc etc!  Does anyone know of any good books which explain about our problems with time?

  • I have a very imprecise relationship with time. I was very late learning to tell the time. Perhaps because I was a scientist, and had to use very complex equipment and analytical software at work, I am a complete technophobe in my personal life. I would never use any sort of digital diary. I have a pocket diary that I write all appointments and birthdays and suchlike in. I check it at the beginning of each week and then again each day if I have anything within that week. On a day that I have an appointment, I write it on the back of my hand, just to make sure.
