The ADHD Skills Lab

Is Executive Functioning Real? 20 years of ADHD research says... maybe?


Listen Later

In this episode of The ADHD Skills Lab, Skye and I explore the critical question: is executive functioning even real or is it a poorly defined construct that's been misunderstood for decades?

Curious what's inside?

  • What the DSM says about executive function..
  • What's the difference between an executive function task vs. executive function measure?
  • Some ADHD'ers may not struggle with executive dysfunction at all.
    • CTA: If this is you, let us know! I have follow-up questions!


Thanks for being here! Until next time,
Sarah Russell (Podcast Producer)
