That was more for the theory to explain, a definition, as this was to demonstrate it in an ample amount of context. Life experience to show how it developed. Slowly. Building intensity with each passing year.

This was one year later. But the tale of the theory isn’t finished yet. Someday, I hope to take it much higher to a far bigger audience.

Thank you very much for reading this and offering feedback, Scott. If you feel you have specific questions, perhaps compared to your life experience, I’d welcome the opportunity to compare notes.

Straight chronophobia is part of what you described. Freaking out about schedules. Deadlines can sometimes seem abrupt and have the potential to unsettle our often structured rigidity. But the theory as it relates to autistic people is more the fear of running out of time to integrate into society. Young. Middle-aged. Older. Any demographic can experience it.
