I have been reminded that I have poor sense of the passage of time, and that I may perhaps not be quite as independent-capable as I like to think.
I am autistic, whatever the 'degree' or the 'variety'.
My desire to be independent and have a 'normal' life is very Aspergers. As are some of my failings in the attempt to achieve that goal. Nevertheless, I will persist in butting my head against those walls. Failure is not the same as impossible.
I will have to track down some services I guess. If only to keep me on track.
