ED (Executive Dysfunction)
Grace and Shen share the definition of executive functioning, how it relates to one's ability to manage emotions and actions, and how executive dysfunction impacts their lives. The conversation takes a humorous turn as they segue into a fake commercial for a product called "Get HARD," making playful references to the term E.D. They touch on the concept of hyperfocus, provide tips for managing executive dysfunction, and discuss the struggles and misconceptions around being labeled as lazy. Shen and Grace also discuss different types of brain energy, food aversions, and their personal experiences. Shen discovers similarities between his aversions and ARFID, a condition where certain foods trigger a strong aversion response. Grace discusses her son's challenges with ARFID and the strategies she uses to help him get proper nutrients while accommodating his aversions. It's an intriguing mix of humor and insight into neurodivergent experiences, food preferences, and coping mechanisms. This is the last episode of our limited series overall combining humor with informative elements to explore the complexities of the neurodivergent experiences and challenges, touching on both serious and lighthearted aspects of living with ADHD and Autism.
