Hello.
I have a question for all of the people here who have aspergers/any form of autism or suspected autism. How flexible are you to schedule changes? I am asking this question since I do not like my schedule changing, but if I am the one to make the changes I am totally fine with it. Or if I have to wake up 30 minds earlier because I have to go to the dentist I understand that and do not think of it as a big deal, although if my schedule in school is suddenly changed I hate it. Or if someone would change how the furniture at home was without me knowing (unless there is a very logical reason the move it) I would not like it at all. And I was just wondering if you feel the same way regarding change as me, or in some other way.

It's hard to put a number on it, but basically I'm reasonably flexible as long as I get enough advance warning. I don't take well to suddenly discovering my life has been changed. I like a bit of change in the mix, as long as it's positive change. I expect people to seek my agreement if they want to change anything that affects me, and I expect them to give me a reasonable amount of time to think about it. I'm sometimes disappointed.
