Hi, my name is Kat and this is my very first post on AC. I am replying to this thread because although I am not an Aspie, I can totally relate. I often have a hard time keeping plans, although I generally make them with the intention of keeping them. I find for me, that this can be due to a variety of reasons, anxiety, exhaustion, loss of interest ( I know that last one sounds bad, but true.) Whenever I make plans in advance, I feel a lot of pressure leading up to the date and eventually psych myself out or begin to feel anti-social. Personally I much prefer just calling up a friend and saying " Hey, let's hang out." whenever I feel like being social, but it's often a time limited offer as eventually I lose my "sociable" mood. This probably just perpetuates the issue but over the years, I have formed a small group of friends who are similar and tend to get less offended when I cancel plans as they understand where I am coming from and sometimes even feel relieved as they were thinking of cancelling as well. Others do tend to get frustrated with me, and I do make the effort when I can but I think I am just a natural homebody. So yes, this does happen in NT land as well. Though I am not sure how "typical" I am.
