Catatonia is a later complication of autistic
spectrum disorders, which adds considerably to the burden of caring. More
research is needed to identify causes, neuropathology, and early signs of
vulnerability.
The Asperger's (AS) child may have a powerful
predisposition to inertia especially when he is stressed or tired. This
profound lack of energy or ability to initiate action is seen in the
child's school, home, and social life.
I think for autistic people it (inertia) means that
they find it hard to do some things, not because of laziness, but because
of their disability to change their thoughts and starting doing something
differently.
This article and presentation are geared partly at
inertial people trying to figure out how to structure their lives in a way
that works.
(Autistic) unwillingness to deviate from routine
procedures, inability to distinguish essential facts from details, which
seem insignificant for a normal individual, are correlated with the
mechanism to formalize the notion of inertia and monotonicity.
