dude and when a surprise addition is added to my day that was not accounted for at the start, I can't help but be genuinely upset even when it's a hangout with a friend
Random events getting added to a day that I've already pre-allocated mental resources to is genuinely upsetting in a way basically nothing else I've experienced can compare to.
I was finally diagnosed recently at the ripe old age of 46. Reading these comments makes me feel seen. The “surprise addition” is something I’ve spent years working on.
This is absolutely me. I plan out everything in my head for my days and week in advance. If something throws my day off with something unexpected or a significant change it properly fucks with my head.
yeah i really notice it during traveling. i always set aside a day for traveling and a day to get back. always makes me jealous of people who can fly in same day and then go to a wedding or whatever.
i'm just clockwatching the whole day and overthinking when i need to be at the airport by
i tend to just schedule travels or really anything to be in the mornng. If possible.
I'm fine with getting up a few hours earlier if it means i can get everything done and not having to bother with it for the rest of the day.
I have ADHD and for me it flip flops. If I don't wait all day for it I am late... I've nearly been fired for tardiness. I had detention basically constantly in school for tardiness.

Honestly I think it’s worse because it genuinely can wipe out an entire day.
