Honestly, I'm not crazy but the mind can sure go strange places when trying to understand my aspie traits .krexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06928818585686147616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3203256752741667615.post-46654289890012112162011-12-28T16:49:09.807-05:002011-12-28T16:49:09.807-05:00The inability to judge time is simply being "...The inability to judge time is simply being "male" :) I've learned to tack on time to anything my Dh tells me.<br /><br />My kids need time to get started in the mornings. I and the youngest are the crappy sleepers.<br /><br />I think people are just built differently. I find food, tv, drinks, etc can all play a huge roll in how we sleep, and how we wake up. Trick is to find the triggers, try to remove them, and make time work for us, not against us.<br /><br />Maybe one day I'll be able to fall asleep in the middle of the night in less than an hour... not likely... but maybe. BUT, I'm not going to worry about it and lose more sleep b/c of it.farmwifetwohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02680758336779501712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3203256752741667615.post-38666585070229339922011-12-28T11:42:41.805-05:002011-12-28T11:42:41.805-05:00That's strange because my son does the same th...That's strange because my son does the same thing. My wife and I have to help our son stay focused or he'll take twice as long to complete a task, if he even completes it at all. I wonder if his concept of time is like yours?Jim Reevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12329621635433083054noreply@blogger.com
