ADHD and executive function

Six executive functions

Executive functioning is at the root of much of what’s hard with ADHD: getting started, getting organized, keeping track and following through. Time, focus, memory and other executive functions work differently with ADHD. This infographic outlines six areas, what can be hard in each, and strategies that help.

We can function with ADHD

ADHD doesn’t mean we’re less intelligent, can’t learn, or have broken brains. We can ask for accommodations, change our environment and find strategies that fit how we work. Therapy can help.
