Does Anyone Else Have Trouble Getting Things Started?

Post Reply New Topic

I also have problems getting things started. In school, I have 3 tests coming up this week, and I've already had 2 tests that I didn't study for and a paper that's due date is in the past that I never even started. I knew about all of these things, but I just can't bring myself to get any of these started. I think a lot of that does have to do with the lack of Executive Function (our inability to start and carry out tasks) that we aspies have. In my case, I think it also has to do with the fact that these things are no fun, unlike posting here or doing something you're really obsessed with. These things are a lot of work, and when you compound that with our Aspie problems, it just isn't easy.

I have trouble finis

I have HUGE problems starting social things. And as far as dating goes - I'm great when there is the possibility of a relationship, more than an actual relationship.

As far as starting other special or professional interest things - I'm really good at those, and I actually finish more often than not.

are you kidding me? i have a three page summary on a sociological article due tommorow and what i've typed so far consists of me rambling about switzerwend! and a bunch mispelled curse words. it's 11 at night. i already know everything about the article since i gave a speech on it last year in high school. i could write it and be done with it. okay, here i go...gah! somebody put microsoft word under spanish spell check. oh, wait that's french. that was me brother. it's telling me study should be studio and what not. must keep going...

i'm even watching some like it hot so that's not exactly helping.
