Dysexecutive syndrome

Post Reply New Topic

Yep the guy who did the psychometric test asked me if I had a hit to the head like a car crash. Though finding out about adhd recently it is a part in varying degrees. It is just not very well known.

I will find out soon hopefully what it will come under.

well i'm not quite sure what you guys are talking what does it mean. I only have joined

I am not good at multitasking. I do one thing at a time well, and move on.

An abstract of a paper at PubMed:

"Executive function" is an umbrella term for functions such as planning, working memory, impulse control, inhibition and mental flexibility, as well as for the initiation and monitoring of action. The primacy of executive dysfunction in autism is a topic of much debate, as are recent attempts to examine subtypes of executive function within autism and other neurodevelopmental disorders that are considered to implicate frontal lobe function. This article will review cognitive behavioural studies of planning, mental flexibility and inhibition in autism. It is concluded that more detailed research is needed to fractionate the executive system in autism by assessing a wide range of executive functions as well as their neuroanatomical correlates in the same individuals across the lifespan.

I do experience considerable difficulty in controlling random flashes across my brain while engaged in mental activities. However, I see this as a strength - I often wind up correlating information that others haven't. I think this is what buzzword lovers call "thinking outside the box".

If so, I have to agree with Lt. Kara "Starbuck" Thrace - "Outside the box is where I live!"

I'm still quite cinfused of what it is actually, but it gave me a idea
