Changing schedules can be really difficult for people with executive function troubles. I’m an autistic, and I definitely have trouble if someone changes the schedule on me with no notice. I have an expectation about my day, and have planned around exactly what I expect. When something changes, I don’t feel like I have time to think through the new potentialities.

Schedule changes can create a lot of anxiety, even a sense of panic that can lead to a meltdown (which, of course, can throw the schedule off even more, creating a stress spiral of doooooooom).

Wouldn’t it be nice if you could learn how to make a family schedule that worked for everyone in your household, with no stress and no panic?

Yes, that would be lovely, I hear you say! So today, I’d like to go through the best way I’ve found for making a household schedule that is inclusive of everybody in your house and their needs, whether you’ve got kids, or you’re living with a partner, family, or roommates.
