The upcoming article that I was working on was getting a tad too long even by my standards, and I was worried about people avoiding it like the Personality Disorders due to the sheer length. As such, I wound up cutting out the part about autistic inertia, and turning that into its own article, which is now up on the Autism section. I also added a new Affiliate to the Portal/Dock. Enjoy!
nice alliteration w/ the tractor analogy ;D and i also adore all the personal life examples u brought up this time. it really fleshes it out!!
It's very important for me to have the opportunity and freedom to immerse myself in a project - I came away from college feeling frustrated that there were things I wanted to pursue further but the curriculum insisted we move on to the next topic. “We can come back to that later” hardly ever works, especially with something creative; I can schedule it in on paper, I’ll turn up for class, but my brain probably wont!
The part about the mental effort and the handgrip device was surprising but relatable and I like that you use this unseen effort to discount laziness. I too have found that building routines works to get/keep me on track; it is also important to recognise and address unhelpful ones (like sitting at the computer first thing). I try to avoid thinking about if I feel motivated.
P.S. On https://koshka.love/autism/index.html you have 2021 instead of 2022 for this page ;-)
Thank you very much, @holeinmyheart! I'm glad you liked the examples! The alliteration was a happy accident, and I honestly didn't even notice it until I read your comment. Ɑ:
@bmh Thank you for catching that error! I relate to your struggles a lot. Western education systems are awful for a lot of people (autistic/introverted especially), and I wish I had the words for all of these things back when I was in college/grade school, instead of spending years struggling despite being told that I was intelligent.
Sitting down at the computer first thing in the morning is definitely a recipe for disaster. It's just unfortunate how much of what we do is now utterly reliant on the computer in this day and age. There are ways to address this (physical books for reading, MP3 players for music, and so on) but they can only do so much...
