Hello Spiritbear25,

Motivation to do homework is something that all students struggle with– you are certainly not alone! I work with several students on the spectrum who are in college, and I second what Laura said about setting timers. This can really help give you some structure to getting work done and add in some relaxation time to take the pressure off. Another strategy some students use is to ask a family member or friend for help. This could be as simple as asking someone who you live in to check in with you about your progress. By having this extra check-in outside of the classroom, it might help remind/ motivate you to get homework done. Also, maybe stop by your professor’s office hours and explain your difficulty with keeping on top of homework assignments. You would be surprised how much professors appreciate your feedback, and they could offer strategies or solutions to keep you on track in their class. My last suggestion would be to sometimes work on homework with your classmates or friends if possible. By forming study groups you are more likely to move forward and discuss the assignments, instead of feeling the pressure on your own.

Hope some of these suggestions help! Best of luck.
