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 very organised when it comes to how my day will evolve, can’t do surprises. My workshop is another thing, it’s quite big, car parts and different tooling is everywhere. There are steel containers with parts piled up. I know where everything is, every single nut and bolt, the whole inventory is in my head. There are two workshops at my mothers house, I know where most probably a thousand items are. The alistics would struggle!
