Autistic inertia is a profound difficulty starting, stopping, or switching tasks due to nervous system regulation issues and executive dysfunction.

It is a natural, involuntary "stuck" state and nothing to do with laziness.

Neuroaffirming support involves working with this momentum—using body doubling (working alongside someone else), reducing demands, visual aids, and respecting "flow states"—rather than fighting it.

Autistic Inertia might look like:

Difficulty Starting: Trouble initiating tasks even when motivated, often feeling "frozen".

Difficulty Stopping: Becoming hyperfocused and unable to shift away, losing track of time.

Monotropism: Rooted in a tendency to focus intensely on one thing, making shifts require significant energy.

Executive Dysfunction: Challenges in planning, organising, or breaking down steps.

Strategies that might help:

Break Down Tasks: Divide large, overwhelming tasks into tiny, manageable steps.

Use Visuals & Prompts: Use visual schedules, checklists, and alarms to signal transitions.

Build in Buffers: Allow 2–10 minutes for transition time between tasks, rather than jumping instantly from one thing to another.

Utilise "Bridge Tasks": Create a small, intermediate activity that helps transition from one major activity to the next.

Leverage Hyperfocus: If possible, link new tasks to current, intense interests to make starting easier.

Owning our mistakes doesn’t require harsh self-judgment.
When we meet ourselves with self-compassion, we stay honest and kind—learning, repairing, and moving forward without getting stuck in shame.
