I like to have routines but I also like to change them. Sometimes I can be very flexible with them and sometimes very small things throw me off disproportionately. As long as I can do things in a way that makes sense to me, I'm fine, routines or not.

This trait of ASD peeps and other neuro atypical folk is usually attributed to Executive Function Disorder. This "sub-condition" causes difficulty with planning and organizing, so while the person may benefit from routines yet has trouble establishing and sticking to them.
I love creating schedules, spending time perfecting them – but I cannot ‘stick to’ them. Also, once the perfection is broken, they are garbage – which generally happens within the first week. I totally lose interest. But I also crave novelty and change. So much ambivalence for one small mind!
