Why

Why is it necessary to change the damned time? I know, the fanatics out there will tell me to save energy even though it has been proven not to save energy.

It is so upsetting to change the time twice a year. it throws everything off schedule so bad. I would like to know if the fanatics that love this so much have an autistic child in their life? A child who lives and breathes consistency. A child that loses it twice a year because the fanatics change the time on him and all of a sudden his life is not the same. Things don't happen at the same time they used to. thanks for nothing fanatics. your zeal is hard on a lot of people.

Damn time change, can't the idiots find a way to screw up only their own lives instead of screwing with mine too?

I think the time change bothers all children, not just autistic ones but maybe the others can deal with it better. It was finally getting light enough that you could see the bus coming, not just guess about the lights, etc. and here we are back in the dark for most of another month.

Someone tried to tell me the other day that it benefited agriculture to "spring ahead." I sure don't see it. We work all the daylight hours, whenever they are and now we are starting in the dark again, too. Even the cows will be waking up early to eat.

I hate the changes too. They should just leave it alone.

I'm not autistic, I'm certainly not a child and it stresses ME out! I wish they'd just leave it one way or the other. Maybe the government will do a "study" on it, spend a bunch of money and decide that they should have just left it the way it was, one can only hope!

Yup, I agree with all of you.

This don't add any time to the day. It gives an illusion of having more daylight at the end of the day for city people. That is all it takes to make some people happy, an illusion.

DST is pretty dumb. But I like it in the fall when I get an "extra" hour on the weekend. But, seriously, it is so stupid. if people want an "extra" hour of daylight at the end of the day, then start going to work at 7 am instead of 8 am. don't need to change everyone's life to do this.

My autistic son has a love/hate relationship with DST. He loves to set all the clocks, but he hates the change. I hate the change, too; it takes a good month to reset my kids' internal clocks.

Our youngest has mild Down Syndrome and he likes to have
things on a schedule, too. The time change always
throws him for some days with his bedtime/wake-up time
being forced on him. The rest of us aren't keen on
it either. I saw an article last week that DST doesn't
save energy when you look at people using air conditioning
more and that sort of thing.
