Autistic inertia is a neurological issue that can make it difficult for people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) to start, stop, or change activities.[1] It can indicate in various ways, including:
- Getting trapped in repetitive behaviors[2]
- 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[3] development, affecting areas such as schoolwork, chores, personal hygiene, and social interactions. However, it's 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 a better performance at something.[4]
