I can’t wait to read the book version of all of this, I’ve found all these posts so so helpful. I was diagnosed a couple of weeks back and had no idea how to improve my situation or get the best out of myself, I feel like I know where to start now. Honestly I can’t thank you enough!

Wow, it is really awesome that you’ve have posted so much about executive function and how it relates to several facets of our lives! I will have to check these out sometime, as I have a strong interest in the topic. I just finished writing about executive function and how it relates to our well-being in my own post. It was inspired by my interest in positive psychology, which asks what it means to live a meaningful and fulfilling life from a psychological perspective. Feel free to check it out sometime and I welcome any contributions you may have to the content. Great post, keep up the good work, and I hope you are doing well!
