For initiation, you mean getting started on a task?
I find that it is often hard to start on a task, even an easy task, but once I start, I get into it quickly and finish easily or get some part done with no problem.
The only way I found that works is simply to force start.

I just have to force myself to do things. It's actually really hard, although it seems so simple. "You've just got to make yourself do it," people say. Well, easy for them to say, but not for me to accomplish.
I have found that the sooner I get something started, the better. Often it's anxiety holding me back. The longer I wait, the more time I have to think about how much I don't want to do whatever it is, and develop further anxiety, making it even more difficult to get started.
With tasks that aren't necessarily unpleasant, but which I don't feel like doing, it's actually harder. Because what's holding me back is the fact that I'd rather be doing something else, and it's often something I'm mentally absorbed in. Or it's because I've completely forgotten what it is I should be doing. The anxiety about completing certain tasks at least keeps them in my mind, so that I won't forget that they need to be accomplished. Otherwise they are often forgotten, and it can be months or years before I get around to doing whatever it is.
Despite any possible male privilege, boasting how smart you are while male is a good way to get beaten up till they damage your brain so you're no longer smart at all.

This new captcha/sign in system is really getting bad. It makes me sign in anew each time I come back. It will not let me back out of a thread I am looking and go back to the index. It makes me sign in to post (after signing in anyway). Sometimes it kicks me back to the main index. Sometimes it makes me sign in, sign in to reply, sign in to captcha and then sign in again.
What happened?

I think that's true, but you have a little more wiggle room for what most other people would perceive as boasting. That's the impression I get anyway.
I can believe that. But, if a person has a known communication issue, it would stand that they wouldn't blame others for not understanding or denigrate them.

I do not blame and have never blamed or denigrated you or anybody for not understanding . Please, where do you get this from again?
With regards to my childhood's "communication issues", I am even infinitely grateful for the many people who trusted me because they saw behind the 7-year-old girl, not able to communicate, a little girl with potential. Those are exceptional people who helped me overcome my difficulties (even when unaware of this diagnosis), with their every day self-investment.
I thank those people, they gave me trust and i think trust is the main thing an autist needs to go further.
And for those who did not understand, or would not understand me now, i have never "blamed" or "denigrated" them and will never do. Misunderstanding is typical human. There is nothing to be angry about.

Well, here:
You say a high IQ is disabling. And nothing has ever been put forth by you that clarifies that.
I tell you from long experience.
You can understand it only if you have high IQ.
Having high IQ feels like if you were living in the middle of monkeys who laugh at you when you speak, because you do not say "hoo hoo hoo hoo". Then you have to translate your language into "hoo hoo s" ...exhausting.
Also, you learn to not care about insults like those above. You learn to have mercy for others' misunderstanding.
This is not true i said : "you misunderstood or distorted what i say." (what again is happening here)
So, yeah, I think you have communication issues and should recognize it. I have to do the same. But you need to stop blaming everybody who doesn't get your ideas. Accept some responsibility that you are the person who is trying to get an idea across. Blaming others will not help.
So, with people who have incoming communication issues, your thought process is, as you say, "Having high IQ feels like if you were living in the middle of monkeys who laugh at you when you speak, because you do not say "hoo hoo hoo hoo".
And, you specifically state, "Then you have to translate your language into "hoo hoo s" ...exhausting.."
So yeah, I can honestly say you come across as arrogant. I can honestly say that if your attitude is that having to "translate your language into "hoo hoo s"" is for the general masses, no wonder you have difficulty.
I have the same difficulties. But, I don't blame others for it.

Well, here:
Sorry, this is not blaming or denigrating:
"i think" = this is my thoughts
"is disabling" = causing adaptation problem
Blaming , definitions:
- An act of attributing fault; censure; reproof.
- Responsibility for anything deserving of censure
Denigrating, definitons:
- To speak damagingly of; criticize in a derogatory manner; sully; defame:
- To treat or represent as lacking in value or importance; belittle; disparage:
I am convinced that I am intellectually handicapped but both my psychiatrist and case manager disagree.
Same, i preformed very poorly on specific areas of my I.Q, Verbal, Working Memory, and Information Processing speed was all either below average or in low average but my Visual And Spatial is top notch.
I also have problems preforming tasks with multiple steps in sequence.
I cant count how many times i mess up making Kraft Dinner.
