This is a difficulty with control of movement where Autistic people struggle to get started, stop, or switch between tasks. This encompasses a lot of experiences such as: not getting a drink as there are no clean glasses, wetting oneself after sitting in the same spot, procrastinating over chores and tasks etc. Some autistic people say that inertia is a big problem in their life. It means that they don’t always do what they want to do. It can mean that they let people down. It can mean that they need lots of help to get things done.
