What is executive dysfunction?

It’s a symptom that disrupts your brain’s ability to control your thoughts, emotions and behaviors and is common with ADHD. The main executive functions are working memory, cognitive flexibility and inhibition control.

Examples of executive dysfunction include:

Planning or carrying out a task because you can’t visualize the finished product or goal
Struggling to transition from one task to another
Getting distracted partway through a task
Having trouble explaining your thought process clearly
