Our Executive Functioning Needs

Finding the right college or university is a process for anyone, but being neurodivergent adds another layer of questions and considerations. This week, we talk through some extra questions to ask, things to consider, and how to think through the choices with your teen or young adult.

Understanding of what ADHD is, what behaviors are common features of ADHD, and who most commonly has ADHD has changed a lot in recent decades. However, pop culture hasn’t quite caught up. This has led to a big gap between what scientists, doctors, and providers know about ADHD and what the general public, and sometimes even people like teachers and family practice doctors, think about ADHD. Today, we'll cover how we got here, what the current criteria for ADHD are, and what scientists and researchers are investigating.

What is working for neurodivergent people in the workplace? What isn't? How can supports be improved? This week, we are diving into a recent research report on neurodivergence in the workplace to find out. Their takeaways are helpful not only for work but also as we think about school and home spaces that will best support our kids.

A few weeks ago we did an episode on our sensory needs as neurodivergent adults. Today, we are doing a bit of a part two on our executive functioning needs. It's easy to think that many adults outgrow their neurodivergence, but we don't! Our accommodations often just become less obvious. So today, our editor, Erica, is joining us on camera to talk about how our executive functioning needs have changed over the years and the little ways we accommodate ourselves every day.

Today, we are taking your questions! This week, we have a few questions that boil down to: Does ___ help with ____? We love digging into the science of what works and what doesn’t, and why!You can find more on dyslexia friendly fonts here and the AAP's guidance on Leucovorin here.
