Difference between just being able to do it vs having to plot out our whole day by the hour. Similar to other neurodivergent traits. Very similar to neurotypical but that it makes it so much harder for the neurodivergent

Plotting out every minute, getting super stressed when one thing happens forcing you t change this detailed plan for your day which then ruins your whole day. Not being able to do anything else productive while in “waiting mode”. This is prob more adhd but prob has an overlap with autism like many others.
