Missing appointments and deadlines? Losing focus and motivation for tasks? And where did you put those car keys? It’s no secret that people with ADHD often bear the burden of living with these and other functional impairments caused by executive function (EF) weaknesses.Executive function is a set of skills that allow people to plan for short- and long-term goals, make adjustments to meet those goals, manage time effectively, remember what they’ve heard and read, and exhibit self-control.
In many people with ADHD, executive function doesn’t work as it should because the parts of the brain that control these skills are impacted by ADHD.
And that affects everyday actions like making decisions, meeting financial responsibilities, adapting behavior in response to a changing environment, and navigating relationship dynamics.
