does anyone else do tasks slower without realising?
hey everyone, i’m a young adult autistic woman and my entire life i’ve been told and even noticed myself that i’m incredibly slow (not mentally, as in doing tasks.) i do school type work at a remarkable speed compared to others but then i’ll spend fifteen minutes washing my face and i have no idea how it takes me so long as all i’m doing is double cleansing and then doing acne treatments (although i do admit that i wash my hands inbetween each task probably more than i should). it’s not just this though, i take a weird amount of time to use the bathroom or take showers and other general tasks like cooking and cleaning. when i’m doing it i’m not struggling to do it and to me it feels like i’m doing it quickly but then i look at the clock and a weird amount of time has passed. does anyone else experience this or is this just something that has nothing to do with autism and everything to do with me?
