What's the Difference Between Executive Dysfunction Disorder and ADHD?
This article is from the Attention Deficit Disorder Association (ADDA). ADDA is a member of the World Federation of ADHD, and per their website: "The Attention Deficit Disorder Association (ADDA) is the world’s leading adult ADHD organization. We are an international non-profit – 501C – organization founded over thirty years ago to help adults with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) lead better lives. Since its inception, ADDA has become the source for information and resources exclusively for and about adult ADHD. ADDA brings together scientific perspectives and the human experience to generate hope, awareness, empowerment and connections worldwide in the field of ADHD."
In this article, the difference between executive dysfunction disorder and ADHD is broken down. Executive dysfunction disorder affects various areas of everyday life. Some examples are: time management, procrastination, or trouble switching tasks. People who have ADHD will most likely face executive function challenges, but people with executive function challenges do not necessarily have ADHD.
I think this article explains the difference very well and gives helpful strategies on how to overcome these symptoms.
