      Wasn’t sure if this was a dig or a legit suggestion so I looked it up and, honestly, yeah - maybe.

      It sounds like ADHD is a prime (or the?) example of this and that definitely wasn’t on my radar. The HD part of ADHD does not ring true to me but maybe it manifests in unexpected ways.

      I think it is worth being very clear that “Executive Dysfunction” is not a disorder, it is a term to describe a symptom that appears across multiple disorders as well as independent of disorders.
