  • Imagine needing order in a disorderly world.
  • Imagine creating order, and being laughed at for doing so.
  • Imagine needing precision in an imprecise world.
  • Imagine being precise, and being told it is often unnecessary.
  • Imagine needing structure in an unstructured world.
  • Imagine creating structure, only for people to tear it apart.
  • Imagine needing words to have their literal meaning.
  • Imagine taking words literally, only for people to consider you stupid.

  • Imagine order is innate, and you have to work out when order is not required.
  • Imagine precision is innate, and you have to work out when precision is not required.
  • Imagine structure is innate, and you have to work out when structure is not required.
  • Imagine taking words literally is innate, and you have to work out when the meaning is not literal.

  • Imagine becoming anxious when you see the ‘Random’ button on your CD player.
  • Imagine becoming anxious because someone gives you £10 when they owe £9.60.
  • Imagine becoming anxious when you see fiction and non-fiction books mingled.
  • Imagine becoming anxious when you are told to wait 10 minutes and it is 11 minutes and counting.
