Like the others have said though, you don't have to have every symptom of autism/AS to be on the spectrum. I do follow routines and I become very upset if there is any disruption to them, though I don't follow times just events.

Maybe that could be part of depression, but it happens even when my depression isn't so bad...sometimes it lifts some and I feel ok, and I still forget things like that, even end up forgetting to brush my hair and will have trouble with a specific routine. I don't like sudden extreme changes or situations its better if such things come on gradually. When my depression is bad sometimes I remember things I should do but am not motivated, don't care and don't have the energy. So I don't know maybe it is a mixture of just generally forgetting things and depression decreasing my motivation/energy.
