How do you deal with the time change?

Last night was the end of daylight savings time (in the US) and we are a very schedule oriented family. My husband has OCD and is high functioning autistic and everything he does is on a schedule. Wake at 8. lunch at 12, dinner at 7, bed at 11, etc and the same now goes for the two 5mth old puppies we have. This is great for their well-being and training but now the time change has already messed that all up. They if course have been off all day and have peed in the house a few times and are begging a lot more then usual. He wants to just "rip off the bandaid" and follow what the clock says whereas I feel we need to gradually change their schedules over the next couple weeks. How do you handle this every time it changes? I wish they'd get rid of it!
