Tell me everything you know about ADHD.
You might bring up how people with ADHD are hyper, bouncing off the walls. Fidgety. Maybe you'd say ADHD makes it hard to focus. Perhaps you'd even say that ADHD people are a little crazy, a little bit eccentric, out to lunch, maybe even not the brightest bulb in shed.
How much do you actually know?
Did you now ADHD includes Executive Dysfunction? (If you're wondering wtf Executive Dysfunction is, that's a great sign! You were meant to find this episode!)
In this episode we'll discuss what Executive Dysfunction is, and how it's fundamentally and inseparably part of the ADHD experience.
I highlight 8 concepts that we Late Fam struggle with on the reg. I include concepts like focus, task initiation, time blindness, and Emotional Dysregulation. This episode is chock full of personal stories of my experiences and struggles with Executive Dysfunction. You just might resonate with a few of them, or all of them!
If you truly want to educate yourself about ADHD, this episode will be the foundation of your knowledge.
Late Fam, get your pen out, your journal out (or if you're like me, open your notes app). And get ready to learnnn. Ready for a total mind f***. And get ready to feel more validated than you possibly ever have before!
If this episode resonated with you, if it helped you or if you learned something new, I'd invite you to please write this podcast a review! The more reviews, the more Late Fam I can help!
