Found this graphic on my facebook feed, from the page The Autistic Teacher. It made me consider which of the two sides I fall on for each item:
- Probably more likely to get upset if plans disrupted, especially as a child. Might occasionally make spontaneous plans, I’d need to mindfully observe myself to work this out
- Struggle to organise, definitely
- Impulsively spend!
- Struggles when others are late (and likely to be early to compensate for bad time keeping)
- Both: usually i’ll have a special interest I spend time almost casually engaging it, it’s very easy, it’s a low effort thing to spend time on. I’ll also have a range of hobbies that take effort to engage in, but that I can get fixated on
- Forgetting steps in plans is more likely for me
- Wanting new experiences, I love novelty.
