Thanks for the link. All the points mentioned are very relevant to the issue and the article captures the essence of the problem as in the current scenario.

However, there are strategies and approaches that can help individuals with autism improve their time management skills.   This series is an effort to understand time management strategies, preferences, tools, remote work vs. office, challenges and accommodations, when it comes to managing time. In this interview, Viraj Bhat discusses his challenges, specifically procrastination. He also talks about his strategies.
