In this episode, I explain how and why executive dysfunction is so prevalent in autism, and I share my experiences with it.
Neurotypicals can struggle with executive dysfunction too - but autism significantly increases the likelihood of some kind of executive dysfunction because of a combination of sensory issues (likely related to the insula and amygdala connections in the brain), combined with a worse short term memory.
Every day I look for ways to either improve my short term memory or find workarounds for it.
Sensory issues are often easier to solve with accommodations than immediately forgetting whatever I was doing two minutes ago.
I find that the best ways to overcome struggling are to first identify WHAT you are struggling with, then identify WHY you are struggling with it. And instead of pretending to be okay - remember that you CAN and SHOULD ask for help and accommodations when you need them.
