Get up for the day, stretch, get dressed, eat breakfast, walk the dog, go to work, come home, make dinner, watch some TV. read a book, go to bed. That's a routine, right!? Routine. A word that is common for many autistics of any part of the spectrum. The word, routine is defined as a regular series of events/activities that one has in their schedule.
Routine can look different for an individual on the autism spectrum. For me, my schedule depends on what I have going on that day/week. I try my best to be productive given the circumstances with how my brain operates. I've come a long way with myself. Sometimes it can be hard to motivate myself, but if I let the part of my brain that wants motivation to win, I will never succeed. Yes, motivation isn't bad, but if it's the only way you are able to get out of bed or be productive, it isn't the best mindset.
