Disruptions in life suck
My phone broke, it was stuck on the logo screen and when restarting it also did not get past the logo screen. I tried a factory reset and that didn't work and tried multiple ways of fixing it from the internet which did not work.
It was already late, but now I was like "how will I wake up on time for work tomorrow, because now I don't have an alarm". So then I grab an old phone, that only charges when the cable is in the exact right position (There was also another, but that one did not charge at all anymore) and I configure that with an alarm. But then I think: I need to configure 2FA for work account on this temporary replacement phone. So I try that , but I discover that can only be done via my work admin because the broken phone is still connected to the 2FA config so I make a note to go to them the next day. It now is like 2 am. I also research and order a new phone so I have a good working replacement as soon as possible which also takes some time.
Then I am stressed about if in the night suddenly in the night the cable will move a bit due to my movements and the phone won't charge. Also this phone's alarm is weaker than my newest broken phone. So these two things give a chance that the alarm will not wake me. I decide to just stay awake but fall asleep anyway. Luckily the alarm did go off. The next day I have to work really tired.
I hate that these problems happen I want to prepare for everything. I wish life could stay in the same routine and never would be disrupted by something. I hate it. I already prepare a lot for things, but the disruptions still happen unfortunately. It would be nice if there was like a guide of preparing for every possible disruption. However, ever human is different and will have other disruptions and there are a lot of disruption possibilities. So I will just have to update my life system until I have prepared everything by experiencing more disruptions.
You can't prepare for everything from the start. You can adjust in hindsight though and hope that you reach perfection one day. Maybe I will buy an alarm clock with a loud beep now to prevent this in the future, or a second good working phone.
Neurotypicals seem less affected by this. They are so flexible and worry less in my experience. I am often jealous they are born like that. They are like: whatever happens, I will deal with it. So they would probably just work their hours later on work (we can start whenever we want, but I always start at the same time) and say they overslept when missing meetings if their alarm will not go off and they overslept. I hate that because then my life is just out of order. In this case I would come home late and immediately would have to go to bed after work. Also people at work might respond negatively to me oversleeping and missing meetings.
Are most Aspies affected badly by disruptions? It would be nice to have like an AI assistant that analyses my life and then tells me possible things that could disrupt my life. Then I would prepare for more things beforehand that normally does not come up in my brain because my brain is already occupied with other things or I just didn't think about it.
