Autistic Inertia or Inattentive ADHD?

[MarmaladeCrumpets]

I'm not sure which I have.

I really struggle with starting tasks. I love external structure and routine because I find it so hard to motivate myself.

I always seem to have this urge to just sit down and rest even though doing that makes me miserable and doing it consistently seriously effects my mental health.

I have to remind myself constantly that doing things is good for me but it is a daily battle.

I guess I'm just going to have to get assessed for both anyway.

Anyone?

I don't think anyone could reply to your question 'Autistic Inertia or Inattentive ADHD?' as we're not qualified to diagnose.

Good luck with your assessments.

I have inattentive adhd, but for me the ‘wanting to sit down’ feeling is very specific to the times when my iron levels are a bit low. I’ve come to recognise it as a subtle sign of anemia (for me).
