When you said"stop talking, I can't hear you!" I giggle and yell at my phone "you can't make me, you're not my real dad!"... And then I laughed my ass off, because I address screens more often than I do actual people.
I am so full of paradoxes. Sometimes I really hate noise. I really struggle with it but then other times I love it and it’s the only way I can focus. One strategy that I use is parallel play, so even right now as I write this I’m listening to your podcast while I make my dinner. Making dinner or some thing that I really struggle with. But because it’s reframed as some thing that I am hyper fixated on such as learning about autism then the cooking becomes the thing I’m distracted by and it’s actually I’m paying attention to the podcast. I also will be on the phone with someone or in person this helps me with executive functioning. I don’t know if that’s helpful for anyone, but it is for me. My brain is peculiar, but I’m learning to understand it’s needs and to love it. Thanks for helping me make dinner tonight!
Words that come to kind that were used to describe me as I was growing up, procrastinating, lazy, unable, disinterested, have to find your motivation...
All I can say is I love seeing your mic input metering showing correct gain structure. Ahhh that is soothing… keep it up Orion, this subject is hitting home.
Great video! I realized I already do some of these techniques, although I didn't think of them as responses to autistic inertia. I have fibromyalgia, and have trouble getting going because I have fatigue and aches and pains. However, when I'm moving and working is when I feel best. So I tell myself things like "Today I'll get everything ready to paint." "Today I'll paint one wall." Etc. I'm very slow, but I do get things done. At my age, I may die before I get them finished, though. But they say the journey's the thing. 😁
This is one topic i relate to a lot. The mornings r such a tough time for me. I just want to sit in silence and drink my tea and ponder whatever i might, figure out what i have to do that day but i can't do that because my concentration is broken by demands around me like 2 kids needing breakfast and all that. I've found it's best to allow myself time to think in the morning, sometimes i journal. Another thing is when u get watching youtube videos and just keep going and going and going. I've been learning a lot about autism and about ADHD and stuff
I just realized i ised autistic inertia in college to write essays! I wouldnt write essays until i was "feeling it" and I wouldnt stop until i wasnt feeling it
I have this so much. Doing anything is so hard. Getting out of bed took me 3 hours. I could only do one chore per day. I couldn't sweep and mop on the same day. One thing that has helped me is ADHD meds. Well, strattera. This is just me, other people may not respond this way. I always thought I was lazy. I'm just starting to realize I had a disability in my heart, not in my head.
You have to kick yourself in butt so to speak, to get into motion. For me, it is an issue. It is kind of like the movie WHAT ABOUT BOB, Dr Marven says, "Take baby steps." It might sound ridiculous, but one thing at a time and, like you said, breaking into pieces. I like the reward idea, it is very encouraging. Thank you.
This sounds like executive dysfunction. I hate being mentally blocked and exhausted, and not having enough consistent energy to do everyday boring tedious tasks.
This content explains so much for me! thanks a ton. i had an eye Dr appt today & i just could not drive there & deal with that scenario. i hope this makes sense, i just couldnt. so, i cancelled the appt & re scheduled. hopefully by then im in a better spot. i have been isolating, a Dr appt does not fit into my life right now. Re fast forwarding your videos ~ why the hell would anyone do that? i hang on to each & every word, dont want to miss something that might help me. again, thank you for the priceless podcast. Peace.
Yes its frustrating, time and space are relative, omg leave me alone! Cough, Cough. Yeah, society is structured on fixed time and isn't my job to point out how much more efficient it can be if structured to account for relative time? That way, I can go back to watching UK hip hop videos and Orion Kelly videos and watching this guy play the same video game again and again. Its on now actually, I'm gonna warm up a chicken sandwich and watch. Great episode!
This is Newton’s first law of motion, in classical mechanics, which deals with the forces at work on Earth that is subject to the force of gravity which is 9.8 meters per second squared. Inertia is a type of resistance, proportional to mass in our gravitational field. It can also represent a resistance to a change in direction in space.
Some of the strategies are similar to some ADHD strategies I saw in another video (can't remember which one it was anymore). One example of making smaller goals to just get started was to take one dish out of the dishwasher and put it away as a goal, once you get started you might end up emptying the whole dishwasher (but be ok with just putting away the one, or else it doesn't work because it's a trick). [edit] Found it (I think): th-cam.com/video/JsT3KPYJFl4/w-d-xo.html
stretchy time! i do everything a little everyday and again all it all at once, after ive got it all planned out. works great. ive noticed you a bit a spicy lately. do a little bit every day. one penny at a time can make a person rich. or stable.
Have you ever notice, that people always blame it on missunderstandings. But if it is not noticed, then it is your fault? Can you make a video about, how evil people are?
When you said"stop talking, I can't hear you!" I giggle and yell at my phone "you can't make me, you're not my real dad!"... And then I laughed my ass off, because I address screens more often than I do actual people.
You made me laugh, too. I need to tell myself I'm not my real mom!

@10:46 - "the autism's gonna get ya!" ... OMG!! 🤣😂🤣
The first 6 minutes sounds like novel, book, or short tale of my life! WOW!
Words that come to kind that were used to describe me as I was growing up, procrastinating, lazy, unable, disinterested, have to find your motivation...
Lazy is the one I remember.
This was awesome. Ty
All I can say is I love seeing your mic input metering showing correct gain structure. Ahhh that is soothing… keep it up Orion, this subject is hitting home.
You make me smile every time I watch your videos, so mission accomplished! ❤ I definitely struggle with autistic inertia. Transitions are tough!
My thing with breaking down into steps is not knowing what steps I even need to take 😅
You explain all of this perfectly.
You made me smile today. You made me laugh and you encouraged me. Thanks! Also, I keep my responses to you in my head, makes things less awkward.
You always make me feel better about myself. 😊 Thank you 💥💛
It's nice when you're the same kind of weird, isn't it. 💥💜
It makes me thing of that song in frozen that talks about taking a step and then another and doing the next right thing.
2:27 Yes Autistic inertia I would like to know 😃😃
i was born with autism and i can say that autism me now with 45 years old it gets worse

First I wave at you and then I answer you lol. I just gotta do it!!!
Confirmation…you have made me laugh today! 😂

Really enjoy your podcasts, thank you.

Autistic inertia is that I must brush my teeth at 2 AM before going to bed but I procastinate lying in bed watching you

I love your humor. Every does not get me whe. I try to joke around
I wasn't going to listen to the whole thing but once I started.....
I didn't know if I'd make it to the end but no problem whatsoever
Doing well, thank you. I will not stop talking to you. 😅
14:31 mate this is very insightful, thanks 🤛🤛

I'm number 64 yay. 8
10:42 I am massively experiencing inertia, just wasnt aware what to term it as it how to explain it to my girlfriend who is Neurotypical
How do neurotypical people stop and start so easily?
stretchy time!
i do everything a little everyday and again all it all at once, after ive got it all planned out. works great.
ive noticed you a bit a spicy lately.
do a little bit every day. one penny at a time can make a person rich. or stable.
Hi 👋 how are you?
I’m good thanks. You?
Have you ever notice, that people always blame it on missunderstandings. But if it is not noticed, then it is your fault? Can you make a video about, how evil people are?
How evil people are? How do u mean?
It's because of neurotypical people
Not in my case.
This disables me so much!
