It's not unheard of for someone with AS, however I've never really felt like that myself when things have changed.

Maybe you just need some time to get used to the new arrangement.

I was reading about a guy who was given some time to get used to having a new computer at work:

For a NT? Yes that would be considered a bit strange. For an Aspie? Nope. Not at all uncommon. Change is tough and sometimes downright disturbing. So no. YOU are not strange for behaving in such a way. I am going to bed. Because I am tired and talk too much.

I despise change. I like for things to be the same for confort's sake. abrupt changes mess my s**t up, seriously. gradual changes are more tolerable but still feel distinctly alien.

I am a creature of habit, of routine.

Normal for an aspie? Absolutely.

Normal for me? I'm not so sure about that. I've changed my room several times and I've never flipped out about it. Maybe I'm not so much of an aspie after all.

I totally understand. I sometimes like the idea of change, like rearranging my bedroom, but i sob when the reality hits. My parents have to be very careful withpromising anything. If anything goes differently than planned I have a meltdown. Like even if we planned to get icecream and then didn't. It is tough, but I've been improving!

Good luck to a fellow inflexible Aspie!

That has happened to me before too, I can relate. Also when we moved houses earlier this year it was way too abrupt for me.

Yep when i was doing mainstreem school (now doing school at home) I would get so upset and anxious and freak out when the tables were re aranged or we were made to move seats. When mum pushes the couch forward or re aranges something it still happens and i have aspergers too so yes i think it is completely normal for that to happen to aspies.

People with aspergers do have a harder time coping with change. I just got braces, I got forced into being enrolled into a religious private school, I no longer have my bedroom to myself, and now my internet is being ridiculously censored. I've coped with change, but not like this. THIS SUCKS!

It happens to me to. My aspergers makes it hard for me to adjust to new school years because of my routines from last year (i.e. class schedule, locker combinations, etc.). Throw in all the other NT garbage happening at high school and I become one daze and confused aspie(':shaking2:')

I can't even update my FA profile without riding my bike to a free wifi hotspot that isn't locked down too much. My school has K-12 so I have to put up with immature junior high school students who act like homosexuals for giggles, even though I'm a high school senior. Pretty ironic that the more sheltered kids are, the more sick minded and immature they are, the religion doesn't even help them out. Not to mention a serious lack of electives and classes I'm really interested in, like computer science. ITS THE 21ST CENTURY, I NEED COMPUTER SCIENCE!! ! And I can't stay alone in the privacy of my room, I have to share it with my obnoxious little brother.

It is not un normal at all! It is just an aspie trait

It's normal for Aspies. You will get used to it. It might take some time, but you will.
