Feels like there's a block between me and doing my work- is it normal?

miztwizted

I'm doing a foundation year of university and my final project is due in a couple weeks and I cannot work for the life of me. I'm diagnosed autistic and this has been happening for years. I want to do my work, I want to pass the course but I cannot pull myself to work.

I described it as me being on one side of a barbed fence and me doing the work on the other side. I could jump over the fence to get to the other side but it'll hurt me. I forced myself to do one project and nearly made myself sick with anxiety about it, I wanna try not do that again but as the deadline's getting closer, it seems like I might have to. 

Is this normal? This feeling of there being a block between wanting to work ane actually doing it? I've been called lazy and unmotivated so I was just wondering. If it is, does anyone have advice for me or a solution? Ty :)

    Yes - for me this is my normal reality.  Frustrating, isn't it !  Pathological Disablement Actually.

    There is nothing that I haven't been able to complete and submit....although it is sometimes a M O N U M E N T A L struggle to do so (with a correspondingly long wait to get it done).... unless, of course, the people for whom I am submitting the work loose patience and faith in me.  Generally, this latter scenario isn't common because my work-output is pretty niche in it's focus and execution......ie when it is finally done, it is almost always met with acknowledgement of it's inherent value and uncanny insight.
