who’s gonna tell tumblr that executive dysfunction is more than Not Doing Things?
okay
these are the executive functions. impairment of these functions is executive dysfunction
Oh.
OH
Girl, help. None of my executives are functioning
#but wouldn’t be any impairments of executive functions considered executive dysfunction#like what if it’s 5/7? 3/7? where’s the line#executive dysfunction also occurs not exclusively in adhd i think
right, the point here is that “executive dysfunction” doesn’t ONLY mean “not doing things”, you’re also experiencing executive dysfunction if your attention wanders while doing the thing, or if you’re unable to regulate your emotions like you want to.
there’s no “line” to talk about, because this is not about diagnostic criteria, this is about explaining that executive dysfunction can and does look different for different people. and yeah, executive dysfunction is not exclusive to adhd, I just tagged it with adhd because that’s why this post was relevant to me.
