Autistic people experience task inertia, which is usually mistaken by those around them (parents, teachers, employers) as laziness or task avoidance. There's this total misconception that autistic folk are defiant or non-compliant when not actioning tasks. But this notion disrespects the 3 truths of autism - being rule oriented, wanting to please others and always doing their best.Sometimes the solution is as easy as helping the person to "make a start"; other times it requires the task to be "chunked" into manageable pieces; or it may require someone else completing the task .Task Inertia is, to a degree, is a total loss of executive functioning, but with it comes self-loathing and a feeling of being useless.Please don't ever call an autistic person L A Z Y #autism #autismsupport #autismstrategies #autismconsultant #autismeducation #autismknowledge #autismawareness #autismacceptance #autismlove #autismislife #autismexpert #nellefrancesautism #nellefranceseducation #nellefrancessensory #sensory #sensoryautism #sensoryhq #sensorybehaviour #sensorydetective #sensorydetective #sensoryfocus #sensorysensitivity #sensorysignals #sensoryseeking #sensoryavoiding #sensoryanxiety #sensoryexpert #sensoryquestions #selfadvocacy ...

What is Ryan’s Rule?Ryan’s Rule is a three-step process that encourages you and your carer to talk with your health care team about how you are feeling. Ryan’s Rule was developed by Queensland Health following the tragic death of Ryan Saunders in 2007. He was nearly three years old when he died and his death was found to be, in all likelihood, preventable. The staff did not know him as well as his parents did. When Ryan’s parents were worried that he was getting worse, they didn’t feel their concerns were acted on in time. If your medical condition, or that of the person you are caring for is not getting better or not improving as expected, you can ask for a Ryan’s Rule Clinical Review. click here for more information:clinicalexcellence.qld.gov.au/priority-areas/safety-and-quality/ryans-rule ...
