I don't do good with change, when I was younger I would freak out if my mother just moved the vacume from one closet to the next or if my mother changed the color of the rug, or repositioned a picture, ah it drove me bonkers! Now those things don't bother me as much, but I hate when people say one thing then do another, or say well lets go to the park today and then all of a sudden we go out to eat and to the movie theaters, its like wow what happened to the park! I literally go crazy. Or the worse is when somebody says I'll call you around 4, and they don't call until like 6, it gets me so ticked. I never realized it, but I also hate when people get haircuts, like my boyfriend got his hair cut real short, like army cut, and his beard realll short, and it just totally threw me off. I couldn't look at him, I couldn't even be around him, it just really bothered me. I think it took me a good hour to finally just accept it. How does everybody here deal with change? Was it harder for you as a child like me? Does it bother you like it does to me? Whats your thoughts on change?
That is called OCD. Not just normal OCD(Which I have), thats like EXTREME OCD.
it is not exclusive to ocd,it's a comon Kanners/classic autism trait to be very against change and routine led,is a lot more obvious than in aspergers,age1600 has kanners autism [correct am if wrong age1600 but am sure that is what have read in post before].
as another kanners,am have never lost intensity in not coping with/inability to change,especially with routines,and changes that are small to some people are major issues to am,it's at it's worst when it's unpredictible change.
