Is It ADHD? Does It Cause Executive Dysfunction?
A child or an adult with attention deficit disorder (ADHD or ADD) might be hyperactive, inattentive, and/or impulsive. Clinicians have always understood hyperactivity and impulsivity. The understanding of inattention, though, has shifted from primarily “the inability to stay on task” to a broader concept called executive function disorder (EFD), which involves a pattern of chronic difficulties in executing daily tasks. This is sometimes called executive dysfunction.
What Is Executive Function?
Think of executive function as what the chief executive officer of a company must do — analyze, organize, decide, and execute. Around the time of puberty, the frontal part of the cortex of the brain matures, allowing individuals to perform higher-level tasks like these:
-
Analyze a task
-
Plan how to address the task
-
Organize the steps needed to carry out the task
-
Develop timelines for completing the task
-
Adjust or shift the steps, if needed, to complete the task
-
Complete the task in a timely manner
What Is Executive Dysfunction?
Executive function disorder, or executive dysfunction, is a brain-based impairment that causes problems with analyzing, planning, organizing, scheduling, and completing tasks at all — or on deadline.
