Autistic experiences around executive functioning and autistic inertiaGetting washed, dressed and packing a school bag are tasks most people don't give much thought to- but for those autistic young people who experience executive functioning challenges , these tasks can be totally overwhelming. On top of that, Starting or initiating tasks can be a minefield for those young people who experience the frozen state of autistic inertia.
