ADHD warriors need to take L tyrosine for executive functioning. Skills do almost nothing because EF is a neuro-chemical problem, not a behavioural problem. Just before bed, use L carnosine to correct circadian rhythm, get deep sleep, lower needed sleep hours and replenish neurotransmitters for the following day. You'll see huge improvements from just the improved sleep alone.

I remember Dr Gabor Mate suggest ADHD is always linked to a traumatic childhood. The "toxic stress" environment described in this video. His explanation is that an infant faced with uncontrollable stimulus essentially switches off as a coping mechanism. Distractions serve as positive escapes from negative situations. I believe he describes neglect as a trauma requiring escape, so it's not necessarily an overtly abusive or hostile environment, but rather one that fails to attend to the needs of the child when under stress.

7:06 - "Owning it is needed before controlling it... giving children autonomy with just enough support gives them a sense of agency over their own actions - the very same actions we're expecting them to learn to control on their own"

Brilliant Talk. Thank you!!!

I feel like I heard the words "executive function" a lot but never quite knew what it meant - until now. I won't forget the tree metaphor!

It's encouraging to hear that executive function skills seem to be increasing in recent years. I look forward to more research in this area! So much to learn.

Executive function skills, actually the lack of, are also an important consideration when looking at some of the symptoms of ADHD. Impulsivity, lack of organization, time management, etc. are executive function skills that kids (and adults) with ADHD really struggle with. It would be interesting to learn how to improve these skills for older kids and adults as well.

Hello

Damning news for ADHD brains

How can I, a person with ADHD, succeed, then?

Absolutely love the explanation thank you for so much passion to create it like this easy to understand ❤️☀️🙏

I wish this talk told us how to do better…for me and my kids

I guess i’m out of luck. I didn’t get any quality “sun or rich soil” growing up. Only “pests & storms”

I dont even have patience to get thru this! 🤣 And why is it all of the Ted Talk speakers sound alike in their delivery?

The sculpture right at 6:57, is that a Brancusi?

So she mean that there is no hope for Persons with a Executive functioning disorder that cant be trained out of? (28 years old struggling to keep a job talking here)

I'm reluctant to even listen to this. I think neurodivergence is part of evolution and there is absolutely hope and community out there for you (and me). There is plenty of discussion and disagreement amongst scientists, clinicians and the like of what executive function means and what role it plays in society. There is no real consensus. Some may argue that it is simply a concept highly valued in industry and the role that value has played out in society and our environment has not always been beneficial.

The executive function industry is exploding.

What can we do as adults?
