I work at my own pace. I have ADHD. I used to get Ritalin as a kid. I was diagnosed with dysgraphia in AD and ADHD. And now I have PTSD due to almost being shot. My house was shot up. I live in a bad area where shootings are normal. The ghetto if you'll call it. My printing is really bad in writing. It sucks having dysgraphia. Now my doctor put me on, Biphentin's.I find that it helps. As a kid, I sucked at English but was always good at math.
I'm in my thirties. I take Ritalin and the for ADHD, bipolar depression,PTSD. In addition I have borderline-mild general learning and intellectual disabilities. I respond to to Ritalin and Zoloft.
For professional presentations like this, professional audio is necessary. Recording audio in a room with echo is not helpful. There's a lot of noise in this recording. Plus, there are no captions. Relying upon the AI captions is not helpful as it has trouble understanding the speaker ... as did I.
So...What is executive function?
I'm going to get away from it all, to somewhere remote in the Ogaden region of Ethiopia, away from modernity and my failures, maybe catching a glimpse of nomads in the distance every once a while who will bring me news of the outside world.
very ineteresting. i'm a middle age man in mid 40s still have these problems. somehow i managed to survive school, corporations, personal finances, etc. but as i'm growing older i seem to be getting worse with exec functions. is this typical or common?
It can be common and here's possibly why. ADD/ADHD has been linked to celiacs disease. Celiacs is an immune related disease in which the immune system is triggered to attack the bodies tissues and it usually it attacks the intestines. This causes the intestines to poorly absorb nutrients because of scarring. Vitamins are not absorbed. A particular vitamin, The B's are known as the brain function vitamin are blocked causing the person to lose executive functioning. You should do two things immediately, get wheat/gluten out of your diet and start supplementing B vitamins so you can regain your executive functioning. Then research wheat allergies. A couple other vitamins are blocked as well but i don't recall off hand which ones they are, maybe research it a little to find out. I know first hand that supplementing B's works miracles. I have ADD and have supplemented a complete liquid multi and watched the power of my mind open up to the world. It was the first time as an adult that I had experienced my full range of executive functions. Don't wait!
stephencarlsbad you are so right. i had food intolerances since childhood which over time developed in to a condition called 'leaky gut syndrome' with fibromyalgia & CFS symptoms. So, yes! in my case, the intolerances resulted in auto immune disorder which caused loss of executive function/ADHD. I have been experimenting with various supplements (vitamins, minerals) with some positive results. This is something I have to live with all my life. But on the brighter side, I am naturally creative & innovative and the life long struggle with this helped me progress from an economically challenged child living in a poor neighborhood in a developing country to a successful tech & real estate investor in silicon valley.
samann95014 Congrats Samann, I'm glad to hear that your are doing well despite your challenges with executive functioning and food allergies. The medical industry doesn't focus much on immune diseases or nutrition. I believe it is up to us to share the research and valuable information with one another. Hopefully we can eliminate some of the hardships in other peoples lives by being informative and helping them catch on sooner than we did.
Wow this is fantastic to read. I was told I might have executive dysfunction by a psychiatrist today. I had known for sometime, however a confirmation is nice. I've also had problems with digestion system and have to avoid gluten. I'm in my early 40s and although I'm intelligent I'm bad at completing tasks. Day to day living is hard enough. I've been away from work for over a decade because I couldn't stay focused enough to complete tasks even though I really wanted to, and even though I've got good qualifications.
+Mike Y How do you know when you're intelligent?

Anyone with dyscrapia. Or ADHD or PTSD. Do not let it slow you down. I'm in college on my pre-health. And my professor lets me use a laptop. He knows about my dyscrapia. I'm going to be a paramedic. I was diagnosed at a young age and I have a normal IQ just a learning disability. I'm I am Street smart but when it comes to writing. I'm not that good in English due to, my dyscrapia. But I was always the head of my class in math. I always got straight A's and 90% marks.
The physical and mental pain of undiagnosed disgraphia.
I find it ridiculous and infuriating that I was never diagnosed. Watch the clip and I have every single symptom of disgraphia. Never knowing what to write about, where to or how to start a single word. Intern what choice did I have but to never write.
Creative writing 😱 I would sooner climb a mountain jump out a window and runaway. In fact I did just that in year 8 yes straight out the classroom window.
I could copy from a book or from the blackboard I preferred that even with the pain in my hand it was the 80s after all boys to be men had to know pain and live with it. Pain was to be endured a right of passage and enjoyed. Something I got used to forgetting about it's existence and not only physical pain all pain was more or less absent just normal. Hidden from the world to see.
A pain I still know and couldn't hide from myself was my frustration never know what to say and in a timely manor that I could only wish for. The only escape was to never talk to people at all trying to feel normal and nothing for anyone or yourself like it didn't exist. Masking never works out well in the long run especially for reasons you never you never know.
The irony for me is that I tested with an above average vocabulary. Frustrating to say the least a knowledge of words I struggle to use and spell having dyslexia.
Listening to people paid off but why have a voice when you can't use it in the way you would very much like.
Cruel and unusual punishment I wish but this is school for so many of us.
