Autistic inertia
Autistic inertia is a neurological issue that can make it difficult for people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) to start, stop, or change activities. It can manifest in various ways, including:
- Getting trapped in repetitive behaviours
- Difficulty transitioning between tasks
- Freezing in new experiences (as if on pause)
- Physical signs such as freezing or becoming unresponsive
- Emotional signs like becoming agitated, anxious, or overwhelmed
Autistic inertia can impact daily life and overall development, affecting areas such as schoolwork, chores, personal hygiene, and social interactions. However, it is not about laziness or stubbornness.
Although it is a neurological issue, autistic inertia also has its benefits, such as focusing on one thing for an extended period of time and having better performance at something.
