Autistic Inertia and Sir Isaac Newton's First Law of Motion
Autistic inertia, which resists changes in stopping, moving, and changing direction, is compared to Sir Isaac Newton's First Law of Motion. This law states that objects remain at rest or in motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. The podcast explains the three types of inertia - inertia of rest, motion, and direction - providing examples like the swirling of water when stirred. Autistic inertia impacts daily life profoundly, with research emerging to understand its manifestation in autistics.
