There are few things I dislike more in this world than the *time change*. I mean, I personally handle it just fine, however, my three. Autistic boys *don't*.
The simple act of moving the clocks ahead by one hour is completely disruptive. It's like someone took their world and shook it up like a *snow globe. *It becomes total chaos for them and subsequently for us as well.
I say this every spring and fall because the time change is like my worst enemy.
I try to bring peace and order to our world and time change seeks to bring confusion and chaos. The confusion and chaos, typically lasts for a few weeks. Those few weeks are among the worst of the year.
This may sound dramatic, but the switch to and from *day light savings time* is extremely disruptive. The worst part is that their sleep schedule is thrown off. This results in *very *early mornings, following really late nights.
When it was decided that this *time change *would be a good idea, I assure you, the creators of this idea didn't have three Autistic boys.
As I'm writing this, Elliott has already been up for well over an hour (4:30 am). Trying to keep him from waking Emmett is not easy and it means that I must remain awake at this most *unholy *of hours.
This is why, every single year I climbing to the highest roof of the tallest tower and scream,fuck* you time change. *
