If you have ADHD you will have challenges with 4 or more, of your executive functioning skills. It might be frustrating but rest assured, we have strategies for supporting you with this.
The executive functioning skills are in the prefrontal cortex part of our brain, this is the part of the brain responsible for cognitive functioning and is the last part of the brain to develop, the executive function does not fully develop until into the late twenties.
People with ADHD can often be emotionally immature because during the development process of the brain the emotion centre for those who have ADHD is delayed by approximately 3 years.
There is also research to suggest that trauma is linked to executive function deficits.
People from all demographics and backgrounds who have with executive function challenges can benefit greatly from learning strategies to improve their executive functioning.
