Signs & Symptoms of High Functioning Autism in Adults

Poor Planning Skills

Executive functioning includes those skills needed for organizing and planning our lives. They allow us to make a plan or schedule and follow it to achieve both short-term and long-term goals. In people with high functioning autism, some executive functions can be affected. As a result, they can find it hard to follow minor changes in the schedule at work or school. In the long run, this could affect their relationships and employment. [3]
