What life hacks have you discovered that have helped you with your autism?

from executive dysfunction hacks to social hacks. It's an open-ended question.

  • Lists. If I need to go out to a supermarket or town, I write a list so I don't forget what I went for and wander aimlessly. It also means I can leave when all the tasks on the list are done. 

    Being a teacher for me is a great life hack as I get guaranteed downtime every 6 weeks or so, and I relate better with kids than adults sometimes. Plus lots of the kids I work with are autistic, which helps.
