i admit it, i have trouble organizing my life. i'm one of those exasperating people who never had
to study in school because i just did the homework & got the grades. And my mom's thoughts at the time were, study was first priority, so i got to read all sorts of stuff just for fun.
Instead of learning household management skills.
All of which is a long-winded way of backing into sharing this cool site
http://www.autismsupportnetwork.com/news/autism-homework-beyond, which a friend shared on Facebook.
She said she'd bookmarked it for future reference, since she knew she needed it & couldn't absorb it at the moment.

i wish i could absorb things online. If they're complicated, i find i have to print it out and read it somewhere else.
Okay, so here's my first tip. Might not work for the plugged-in generation, but i need paper stuff. (Note to MyGuy: this could be an argument in favor of an e-reader. Or not. Something to take away from the computer table w/o killing trees?)
So, back to that useful link. i read my printout today, discussed & it with MyGuy. The article does have good tips, not only for those on the spectrum, which may or may not include me, but also for those with ADHD, or anyone who's organizationally impaired. Which definitely DOES include me.
It also has jargon. The author explains, but somehow the explanations don't stick. Tomorrow i'll write more about the actual article and see if i can tease out anything.
about one of the big word terms
about big words in general
about motivation
