I am 29 and thought i was alone. Everything you said sounds exactly familiar except i am more than 5 min late. I is something i have dealt with even when i was in school. My family says i live on the edge all the time. This is so embarrassing but my mother calls me in the morning to wake me up so i can get my children up for school because she knows i dont wake up on time. I have been on time for the first time since school began for my children this year for a week. Just like you mentioned its never consistant. Eventually i will fall right back into being late. How i wish i could just get up on time. I have been fired so many times because of tardiness. Every job i have has told me i am totally capable of doing my job but my lateness really does me in. That really sucks. The last job i had i was fired they even sent me to EAP which is an employee assistance program. At that point i did not have my diagnosis but the counselors truly thought i was disobeying authority on purpose.
Anyway hope you do not feel alone.
