Why is routine important to you?

pewpewmcdrew

I have aspergers myself and have my own reason for liking routine- it basically provides reassurance, helps things go a lot smoother for me and helps me stay motivated. If I don't have a set routine for doing something I end up not getting it done or giving it up, but if I have a routine for doing something I will be likely to stick to it.

Interested in hearing what others have to say.

  • Hi everyone,  It is interesting to read your comments, did you all develop routines as children or is it something you have developed as you have grown?  I have never been a routine person, purely becasue I wasn't raised that way and my life over the last 8 years+ has never allowed me too anyway.  However, everyone says how it is important to put routine in.  My daughter is 8 and autistic, I really struggle with this routine thing.  My husband passed away in May and I am so exhausted but do not sleep well either.  I am struggling with emotions and depression, but am winning. Trying to put routine in that I can actually stick to are difficult, especially when my daughter keeps pushing the boundaries. How do I make her go upstairs when she has come down again for the sixth time? and she is shouting and screaming abuse at me?

    Thoughts welcomed please!
