Are you Organised or are you Simon?

  1. (Yes, it's another waste-of-time thread, as I shy away from depressing thoughts)

Are you Organised or Disorganised?

My 'diet' is madness. I'm so disorganised, and can't make decisions easily, that even this uncomplicated list of available food items presents many dilemmas:

Mixed veg (bowl)

2 satsumas

Pack of apple slices

Fat-free, sugar-free, yoghurt-free, born-three yoghurt 

I don't know whether to eat all, some, or none in a day. Or in which order. And I panic, unnecessarily, that I might cross the dreaded threshold of over 300 calories. So, arranging a day's menu is an adventure in anarchy, indecision and confusion. I don't even need to diet...

I always thought that autists were very controlled people who organised their activities as much as possible. Yet, despite my routine anarchy, my pre-assessment application form apparently contained more red flags than Stalin's shed.

*Anyway, are you organised or disorganised in your daily life?*

  • I am both.

    I will write a list for going to the shops, what I buy in each shop, and order the shops I visit so that I'm going from furthest to nearest home. Going out for a day and I will have my outfit planned and ready, any items I need, and transport. As examples. 

    Then I will bounce around activities, forget to pay bills, and be so undecided with choices that I end up doing nothing at all.
