Autistic Inertia is an autism experience that makes it hard to start, stop, and switch tasks.

It somehow doesn't get talked about enough - so I made this comic!

YouTube • Instagram • Twitter

Also, if you want to read the research study I based this comic on, it’s right here!

Since I posted this on other platforms and got these questions a lot:

ISN’T THIS EXECUTIVE DYSFUNCTION / ADHD?

A lot of people keep relating this topic to ADHD or executive dysfunction. The study itself (linked in the post) says executive dysfunction may contribute to Autistic Inertia, but it is not known at this time! It might be possible, we just don’t know.

There are also other non-executive dysfunction related possible causes, which would distance it from ADHD.

The brain thinking to move, but the body not responding, is a trait more associated with Autism than ADHD (to my own knowledge).

I RELATE TO THIS! DO I HAVE AUTISM???

If you relate to this it does not mean you have autism. There are other explanations and similar experiences, always do your own research.

This is not part of the diagnosable criteria for autism. This is just a common experience some autistic people have. This is not even experienced by all autistic people, as everyone is different!

If you are autistic and experience this, you aren’t alone! ❤️

Marriage is about having good sex and committing unspeakable acts of violence for one another

"it's about love" yes and love is tearing a man's heart out of his chest and presenting it to your beloved wife because he dared to disrespect her. And then getting absolutely railed.

Battinson meeting Superman, because if anyone needs a sunshine alien it’s him.

—

Bruce, in full Batman mode, tracks Superman down and eventually finds him on a rooftop in Metropolis. He grapples up, perches himself on an A/C unit, and stares.

Clark, new to the Superman thing, just trying to enjoy a burger and fries after helping with a house fire: Um. Hi?

Bruce:

Clark: I’ve noticed you following me? You’re from Gotham. The Batman.

Bruce: *shines a flashlight at Clark’s food*

Clark: Yeah. It’s a cheeseburger and curly fries. Did you want some or…? Do you need help? Seems like you maybe need some help.

Bruce: *shines the light in Clark’s eyes*

Clark: Do you want to, um, talk or something?

Bruce: what are you

Clark: I’m Superman! :)

Bruce: alien?

Clark: How did you—

Bruce: I am a bat.

Clark: O-kay. So do you want to be friends or…?

Bruce:…

Clark: :)

Bruce: *launches himself off the side of the building*

Alfred: Good morning Bruce, how was patrol?

Bruce, rewatching the conversation with Clark on his computer: i think i made a friend today Alfred

Bruce: [seeing Clark again 6 months later]

Superman: “oh hey” :)

Bruce: “do… do you…”

Superman: “do I?…”

Bruce: “…”

Clark: “to hang out?”

Bruce: [runs away]

Dick: Bruce? I’m hungry.

Bruce, crouched in a corner, shuffling through a case file: where is Alfred

Dick: Remember he went to England last week?? I’m hungry! You have to feed me.

Bruce: *shuffles over to the mini fridge he has in the cave, finds a bag of shredded cheese, sits on the ground with it*

Dick: That’s just cheese tho??

Bruce: yes.

Dick, a ten year old: *shrugs* ok cool!

Dick, testing boundaries: I want to watch Jurassic Park.

Bruce: ok

Dick: I-It’s midnight?? I have school tomorrow?

Bruce, wearing a ratty old bathrobe and some flannel pants, eyes glued to the floor and hair falling in his face: caniwatchitwithyou

Dick: yeah?? but it’s really late???

Bruce: do you want popcorn

Dick, a ten year old: *shrugs* ok cool!

Dick: B I got into a fight today at school

Bruce: *shines a flashlight at Dick’s face*

Dick: I’m not hurt. They were teasing me for being a circus boy.

Bruce: did you win

Dick: …Sort of? Am I in trouble?

Bruce: *turns flashlight off and goes back to his case file* i can teach you some fighting techniques

Dick, a ten year old: *shrugs* ok cool!

Dick: We have parent day at school next week.

Bruce: hn

Dick: Um…the parents have to present what they do as a job. So I guess you can talk about your company. Just a five minute presentation.

Bruce: *vibrating, tearing up* presentation?

Dick: Alyssa’s mom made a PowerPoint.

Bruce: I can call you out and we will go to the zoo.

Dick, a ten year old: *shrugs* ok cool!

Dick: Bruce. >:-(

Bruce, hunched over, covered in grime:

Dick: You’re going to take me out on the next case with you.

Bruce:

Dick: *intense eye contact*

Bruce, shriveling up: okay but you need a costume

Dick, a ten year old: *shrugs* ok cool!
