Is there some kind of "reverse ADHD"? I feel the complete opposite.

    I mean.. not opposite, but in this specific case: Autism?

    Yes. Structure (of my choosing and creation) is good. And executive dysfunction is always present (the structure helps combat it some but anything outside the routine is really hard to get to).

    Exactly this!

    I also get mad when someone interrupts my routine.

    Yup, there's good reason I do the same things the same/similar way every day!

    Edit to add: I literally run on my routine as oppose to running on what time it is NT's seem to, by which I mean, for example - I won't have breakfast/lunch/dinner depending on it being breakfast/lunch/dinner time, but rather on where I am in my routine, so I'll often have "breakfast" after noon, "lunch" in the evening, and "dinner" in the small hours of the morning, just because those are the times it happened to be when I reached those points in my routine, rather than the time of day dictating my actions.. Does that make sense?

    Yes. For me, more and more so for the last few years it just starts to turn into freezing. I get stuck. My mind is racing and thinking of all the things I "could" do and instead I just sit motionless and borderline unable to move by my own will trapt in thought.

    Like scrolling through My List on streaming media instead of watching anything!
