Not autism but ADHD paralysis, maybe you can find something similar to explain:

Say I give 50 dollars if you put your hand on a fire and keep it for 5s

And the 50 dollars can be any amount of money you need right now (not something like a million bucks, more like pay your groceries, any amount you’re somewhat struggling with)

Your brain start battling with the idea of putting your hand on the fire and is telling you not to do it, but you also know you have to do it if you want the money. So you stand there preparing for doing it but without really doing it. Thats ADHD paralysis and the money is the task you’re supposed to do, like “clean the apartmant”, “fold clothes”.

My point is: if you find an example for your struggles that they can feel they’re in the same situation, they’ll get better
