I am undiagnosed but positive I have AS.
Hard, cold reality has forced me to deal with responsibilities of daily life that are often very difficult. At the end of the day I am exhausted... physically from actual work, and mentally from social interaction. Yet I manage, usually. I am marginally happy with life. Out of my mind occasionally, but still OK. Here is what I do all day.....
Monday through Friday:
-wake up between 5 and 7 AM
-get breakfast, get coffee, get dressed
-wake, dress and feed son
-take son to preschool
-go to work (I substitute-teach, so I am somewhere else every day)
-work, eat lunch at some point, intermittently use the internet or read a book
-leave work by 3 or 4 PM, pick up son from preschool
-go home, spend time with son
-cook dinner, eat dinner, do chores, spend time with son
-put son to bed by 8 PM
-do more chores, work in the garden, spend time with girlfriend, listen to and play music, get on the internet... general recreation
-get a shower, set out things for the following day
-go to bed by midnight (sometimes later)
Saturday and Sunday:
-wake up whenever my son does
-get breakfast/coffee
-watch TV, get on internet, spend time with son
-do random chores, eat lunch, random activities with son (park, library, garden)
-cook dinner
-about 5 PM get dressed and go to work at my evening delivery job
-work until about 9 PM, and run a few errands while out
-come home, get a shower, involve myself in general recreation
-go to bed by midnight or 1 AM (sometimes later)
In keeping this schedule, time has started to loop upon itself, and I often have to really pause for a moment when considering what hour/day/week/month/year it actually is...
