Do any other autistic folks struggle with completing ADLs without really knowing why? I'm currently staying at my parents' house to catsit while they're out of town, and am having significantly more trouble taking care of myself (eating, bathing, hygiene) than I do when at home with my partner. Yet I don't know what deters me! Just my inner self going "no, no" ... due to disruption in routine, maybe? It's really making things hard. I need to take a shower, eat a meal. These are tasks I can physically perform independently, though still struggle some amount. But right now it is significantly more difficult, and I'm not sure what's up.
