Hi - have you ever kept a record of how you spend your time, for one week? Looking at the record can show you places to focus on improving. Also, if important things are not done, work on changing that habit for a month or so, one habit at a time, until new habits become automatic. I am trying to streamline my food habits right now. Want to spend less time cooking, and just have convenient and healthy food easily available 2-3 times a day. Meals. I need meals, and no more snacking. Time waster, and I am too old to be able to afford a continuous calorie drip if you know what I mean - middle aged spread! However, maybe you need a different style, like keeping easy snack foods around. High calorie stuff like nuts. Oh! Here's a link I stumbled upon this morning when I was researching recipes. It's a link that would suit you, perhaps, definitely not me:

Interesting foods to pack in the calories? - diet recipes | Ask MetaFilter

I'm not diagnosed AS, but I have certainly had problems with coping with things ordinary people don't seem to mind. The things that suit them don't suit me, and they are draining to me. I think they would have problems coping in an environment I designed, also. So, I don't beat myself up about it. You're different, not broken. It just feels broken sometimes, I think. Just my opinion.

If you take care of your physical and emotional health first, you will have more energy to tackle things like your apartment and challenges such as school and one day work if you choose.
