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'm 51 and can't use them.  It helps me when other people use my diary to book things, but I can't.  When I see time listed out like that it makes me panic (I used to set watches 15-50 minutes fast to keep me early). When I try with diaries I ended up putting the right dates in the wrong months, or visa versa. Never managed to use a hand written one for longer than 5 days. I can't handle time, and watching it dwindle away on a watch makes me uncomfortable.
