What is executive dysfunction?

2 min read

For those who don't know, executive functioning has to do with the way the brain organizes information. Neurodivergent (Autism/ADHD etc.) people often struggle with this. 


It can lead to things like...


- Difficulty paying bills on time


- Difficulty returning things within the return window


- Difficulty canceling unused subscriptions


- Difficulty remembering important dates and birthdays


- Difficulty starting and finishing tasks


- Difficulty organizing personal space


- Difficulty coordinating important activities and events


- Difficulty coordinating multi-step tasks, like doing laundry, cleaning the house, going grocery shopping


- Difficulty responding to texts and emails 


There's no magic pill for executive dysfunction, sadly... but once you know what it is, you can strategize and come up with ways to work *with* your brain rather than against it.
