  • “The commonly-experienced difficulty in starting and stopping tasks, especially in neurodivergent individuals.”
    "a few common traits :

    • Transition challenges relating to difficulty with starting/stopping tasks
    • Difficulty resuming activities after interruptions
    • No control over actions despite desire
    • Indecision, anxiety, or challenges with planning or starting tasks
    • Time blindness
    • Mind and body feeling separated
    • Indifference over task urgency or task itself
    • Motivation challenges
    • Being able to focus on one thing for a long time easily once started (This can potentially be a major strength!)"

  • Didn’t know what it was before seeing this post, but after looking it up I’d have to say a big yes. Starting tasks has often been hard for me, even ones I want to do, while there are times I start something and end up doing more than I intended, even stuff I didn’t want to really do. An example of that would be like finally getting around to cleaning one little thing, but then continuing on to the stuff or areas around it as well. I’ve tried using that in my favor by trying to convince myself to just do a little bit of something, hoping that I’ll end up doing more, but it’s been kind of hit and miss so far. Maybe it’s a skill that I can get better at? 🤷‍♂️ In any case, I will definitely be doing more research on this to try and help with it, so thanks for bringing it up!
