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'm both!

    When I'm working, I'm always really organised. I'm also the kind of person who checks all the public transport times and routes before I go anywhere so I know exactly where I'm going and when.

    On the other hand, I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing when it comes to household organisation. We do have a meal plan and shopping list, but I'm hopeless at keeping things tidy or cleaning things regularly. My mind wants everything to be organised, but my executive dysfunction says "not today".

  • I am definitely the same with cleaning. I wish I wasn't, but so far wishing hasn't changed much.
