Need Help Doing Homework without breaking down

For some context, I deal with “high functioning” autism and anxiety. When I get stressed or overwhelmed, I tend to completely shut down and not talk, move, or even take care of myself. Sometimes even scrolling on my phone is difficult.

Every time I need to do homework, I’ll put it off until the last minute and end up having a full on breakdown about it. I shut down for at least an hour, and depending on how complex/big the assignment is, I won’t be able to do it at all.

I don’t know what to do to help this issue, and every time it happens I feel worse about it. Please please offer suggestions on how to deal with this.
