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 CJ115.

    Well, I think in my case it was something that seemed to develop over the years. But then, if I am on the autistic spectrum it is at the very mild end. Your daughter sounds like she is much more affected than me so I'm really not qualified to offer much useful advice. The trouble is when you get older you can't really remember that much about how you behaved as a kid and it's only because I've recently learnt about autism I can relate to it.

    I should think there are others here who have gone through what you are going through, CJ115, and could offer some advice based on their experiences.
