I really can’t
Depending if I need the bathroom or how long the dog takes outside, I can roll out of bed and be in my car heading to work in under 15 minutes.
Yes I have adhd.
I can get ready in 3 minutes I just need 57 minutes to get out of bed first
Ready in 90 seconds. 20 minutes of approaching the front door and backing away convinced that I’ve forgotten something. Then 10 minutes to find the thing I forgot when I turn back round in 5 minutes because I remembered after I left.
The truth is you can, and you know you can because you have gotten ready in 5 minutes before.
The catch is you need planetary alignment for it, or in other words you are not in control of choosing how much time it takes.
What does this have to do with autism? Sounds more like ADHD problems.
Well, I (Autism and no ADHD) have a hard time waking up on weekdays because of my sensory issues (since I live with my parents who do anything but accommodate them). I wake up normally on weekends, because no one bullies me first thing in the morning.
I should have signed up for a school where I would be eligible for a dorm - not solely for that reason (In Slovenia, the dorm eligibility is calculated mainly from the distance between your home and the college), but I didn’t. Great.
ADHD and autism are in many parts very simliar, so I never know if its “just autism”. there is also audhd.
