I'm not late. I always arrive exactly when I mean to!

Which is always at least 10 minutes later than I said, and 20 minutes later than I expected to.

I think they mean the people in charge of maintaining schedules will be rigorously opposed to anything getting in the way of those schedules proceeding as planned.

Not that every ASD person is immune from ADHD.

No delays, my trains always arrive a full 15 minutes early due to anxiety over being late and then sit around in awkward silence waiting for the passengers to show up.
