My Asperger's Syndrome makes me very dependent on a schedule. If anything in my schedule is thrown off, my whole day is off. It's not deliberate; it's unfortunately how my mind works. Because of this, I'll have the tendency to play mind games with myself such as: 

"It's dinnertime right now?! Let's see if I can hop in and out of the shower before my dinner gets cold and I shower at midnight!"

or

"I slept through my alarm by thirty minutes?! Okay, let's whip up a cup of hot chocolate and see if I can trick my brain cells into doing some work!"

and of course:

"A sudden sickness forced me to not do my homework yesterday? Watch me do this entire eight page essay in one day! When I finish, my grand prize is an entire cup of ice cream!!!"

I can't even help it! I have to do this kind of stuff! Otherwise my brain will be like this:

"We slept in for thirty minutes?! It's anarchy I tell you! ANARCHY! What will happen to breakfast?! Chores?! We can't redo the schedule! Nothing is in it's proper place and balance shall not be restored to the world unless everything is in correct order! Captain! Should we shut down and recharge in the middle of the store or do it in bed with a cup of tea? Oh, that's not an option?! Well how about we talk to a random house member until we figure out a reconfiguration?!"
