What Is Executive Dysfunction? Signs and Symptoms of Executive Function Disorder
< warning venting a rampant abuse of the semi colon* >
Was looking into ADHD and its overlap with Executive Function Disorder. First response is "ha ha fuck you". kinda want to staple this part to the forehead of the 6th grade teacher who called me obstinate and had me stay after school 2 hours everyday for a month; because I couldn't keep my binder organized or keep track of assignments even though I knew the subject after they /gave me whole printable assignment tracker**/ and had 2 students who finished their work early help me organize my binder***
*I seem to be in an emotional processing phase, sorry! see next post
**once and it only had spots for one week and I had no way of xeroxing it because students weren't allowed to use the copier at school and the nearest library was a $2.50/45 minute bus ride away and charged a quarter a page. Oh and I wasn't allowed to go most of the time because I liked libraries and I spent most of 6th grade on some level of grounded for not turning in my assignments.
***again one time only; embarrassing all three of us and giving me no guidance on how to keep it up or even what they did; other than "you saw what they did, just do it again"
EFD is often diagnosed during the transitions to 6th or 9th grade, when school structures and schedules change dramatically, and academic expectations increase. Parents and teachers often don’t get why kids can’t work independently on an assignment, and assume they’ll “pick up” the necessary skills. It’s important to start helping kids with ADHD/EFD early, and to acknowledge the problems those disorders cause so that kids don’t feel stupid or lazy.
