Description: It is not yet understood whether Executive Dysfunction is a Signal or Neurotransmission s disruption.

Brain anatomy alone is worth a whole encyclopedia.
Since this is not an academic journal, I’ll dissect the brain in its main 3 regions: Cerebrum, Cerebellum, Brainstem.
Although interconnected, some researchers entertain the notion of 3 separate brains within the cranial cortex: the Cerebrum is the largest anterior portion associated with Action. The Cerebellum is the smaller posterior portion where Neuronal Signals originate. The Brainstem is the lowest posterior portion connected to the Spinal Cord, processing tactile and motion nerve signals.

The Cerebellum is mostly associated with Spectrum Disorders.
Speculation wants that the Cerebellum and Cerebrum are disconnected in ADHD.
This would explain Procrastination, the failure to take action in the long-term.

The logic would be that stimulant-induced Dopamine and Adrenaline as in Neurotransmission, enhance Signals from the Cerebellum to the Cerebrum through electric synaptic impulses.
Dysfunctional brain electrical-activity is responsible for several disorders, Epilepsy the most common…

A Signal can be a thought, a decision, a memory, a skill, an intention…
When Signals don’t travel to the anterior Cerebrum, the first visible manifestations are Time Blindness, Lack of Motivation, Crisis, Burnout, all linked to Executive Dysfunction.

You will remember that healthy Executive Functioning revolves around Learning.
The same is for Dysfunction.
I will analyze how the aforementioned effects impair Memory and Learning.

Time Blindness is the first symptom of failing Signaling.
When Signals don’t reach the Cerebrum, we can’t execute them, therefore we lose the sense of urgency, referred to as  ‘Time Blindness’, literally: the sufferer cannot distinguish between day and night, the Circadian Rhythm acts on Fatigue only in order to put us to sleep, regardless of light or darkness.
A potentially fatal condition in the long-run.

With no sense of urgency, we automatically lose Motivation by tackling deadlines on the last day, reminded by the calendar or notebook. This ‘induced’ Sense of Urgency turns into a Sense of Crisis, or a State of Panic and Mania combined: Sparking adrenaline puts us in a 24 hours nonstop Work-mode.
Eventually, we do the job, not without paying the inevitable ultimate Price: Burnout.

For the record, Burnout is former Nervous Breakdown, far more explicitly dramatic defined and universally comprehensible.
Burnout is laughed off by youngsters who think it’s a harmless joke recovering in a good overnight sleep… far from truth.
Burnout can be irreversible or trigger multiple mental and physical illnesses.

Neurodivergence is NOT awesome, let’s stop pretending and advocate for Awareness and Acceptance instead!
This is real Empowerment, not praising our miseries.

Rant said, what’s the cure?
There is no cure.
Medications target symptoms, not illness, a more profitable approach for pharmaceuticals, nevertheless.
Literature is plentiful. The answers always equal and partial.
As for ADHD, Reward enhancing dopaminergic compounds are the only solution.

There are Solutions to everything. Cures for nothing.
