Procrastination or Learned Helplessness?

Learned helplessness is often experienced by ADHDers and Autistic folks. Successfully completing a neurotypically-designed task to neurotypical standards with a neurodivergent brain is tough. The result is this: the ADHDer or Autistic person is told that they aren’t doing it right. Hearing these messages on repeat causes them to feel powerless and incompetent. The result? Learned helplessness.
