 idea and the concept of autistic inertia is basically describing a state where you can't stop a task. If you've started a task, you've got into it, you've got into the flow state and you cannot stop for the life of you. Likewise, on the other side of things, perhaps you'll find it really hard to restart what you're doing after being distracted. So if you're working, you got distracted by a little notification on your phone, you start chatting to a friend, it's really hard to get back into that work mode. This is autistic inertia.
