FIGURE 1.

Diagram of themes in autistic inertia. Themes (colored rectangles) are organized into primary categories (columns) of ‘Description’ and ‘Effects.’ These are further divided into internal and external domains. This then provides four sub-categories: internal experiences of inertia (blue), external factors that inhibit or facilitate action (green), effects on how the person feels (yellow), and effects on how the person lives (red). Arrows indicate the direction of effects as one area influences another.
