Playing with Autonomy off is so much easier on the blood pressure

I normally play with full autonomy on .. but I'm finding out it is much much easier to handle the toddlers with it turned of.. I'm also turning it off when I want to take screen shots, or pictures.. espically when there are 2 or more sims in the group.. thing is, is ya tell them something to do, and they will do it.. but, then they just stand there til you tell them the next thing to do..
