Ha, motivation. One of the reasons my grades were really below how smart I really was.
However, lack of motivation's a pretty well-known symptom of depression... if it's a trait of asperger's also, I guess that explains why I couldn't get anything done when they combined.
Still, yeah motivation's an issue, procrastination too - basically getting anything started, I can force myself to do, but it's always kinda tough!
The same for me.
When I was younger my teachers always said that my grades could be better if only I put more effort in. I did what I had to until it was time to go home, nothing more because I just didn't see any purpose for it. This was probably because of depression as well. I guess you could say that living lost it's charm.
Motivation's not such a problem for me anymore because I have found something worth doing (educationally speaking). However I always procrastinate, sometimes it's a matter of not knowing how to start something so I'd rather not do it than do it wrong.
