So, apparently, some people think ADHD doesn't exist & therefore I conclude

I do not exist either.

So!

No chores & deadlines & anything that's boring for me ✨️😌🫰🏿

But seriously: ADHD is a neurodivergency which is VERY REAL. Like, it can be measured even. Wtf.

is there a way to tell if i, myself might be affected by executive dysfunction? or a way to lessen the symptoms when they appear?

Great questions! /g

To better understand what executive dysfunction is, it helps to know more about executive functions.

The main executive functions are:

- Working memory: memory that involves whatever you’re doing at the moment. If you’re reading, taking notes or having a conversation, then your working memory is part of the process.

- Cognitive flexibility: fluid or flexible thinking - it refers to how well your brain can shift & move from one topic to another. The more flexible your thinking, the better you can adapt to whatever is happening around you. This also helps you react to unexpected changes in your situation

- Inhibition control: ability to steer or manage your thoughts, emotions & actions. This is a huge part of executive function, & we’d be unable to control our impulses & thoughts without it (there is behavioural control & interference control)

There are also higher-level cognitive processes, including:

- Planning: when you mentally map out a series of actions that’ll help you reach a goal.

- Reasoning: ability to apply critical thinking. Very important for building on your stored knowledge to think creatively or to break down something complicated into easier-to-understand pieces.

- Problem-solving: can involve all three main executive functions, as well as planning & reasoning. This is how you apply what you know & how you think to overcome obstacles or problems that are in front of you.

Now that we got that covered, here are some signs of executive dysfunction:

Disclaimer: e.g. stress can cause these problems too, it's important to keep in mind, that executive dysfunction is something that occurs regularly & not under certain circumstances!

- Difficulty motivating yourself to start a task that seems difficult or uninteresting

- Struggling to move from one task to another

- Getting distracted or interrupted partway through a task, causing you to misplace items or lose your train of thought (like leaving your keys in the refrigerator because you wanted a snack, but your hands were full, so you put your keys down inside the refrigerator & forgot about them)

- Problems with impulse control, like struggling to stick to rules or routines, doing something just because & not properly thinking about it

- Struggling with thinking before you talk, causing you to blurt out the first thing that pops in your head without considering that it might hurt someone’s feelings

- Having trouble explaining your thought process clearly because you understand it in your head, but putting it into words for others feels overwhelming

Can you treat these symptoms?

In general, the treatments for conditions that cause executive dysfunction can vary based on the condition itself & a person’s circumstances, health history & preferences.

When executive dysfunction happens because of a mental health condition, the goal is usually to treat the underlying condition causing it. That’s because executive dysfunction is often just one of the many symptoms that happens along with these disorders - so you treat it with medication and/or psychotherapy.

The treatments for executive dysfunction from brain damage or degenerative brain conditions can vary widely. For some of these conditions, direct treatment or supportive care can help. For others, the underlying condition may improve on its own without treatment. Unfortunately, some of these conditions aren’t treatable.

To come back around to Leo:

Executive dysfunction is one of the key symptoms of ADHD.

Research shows that the parts of the brain involving executive functions tend to be smaller, less developed or less active in people with ADHD. That’s why ADHD nearly always involves this symptom.

It’s also a common feature among many conditions that affect people who are neurodivergent, including myself as an autistic person, as well as Mikey, who also has ADHD.

I hope this helps!

If you are further interested, I'll drop some sources I think that are useful:

rise headcanon!

in the future, just after the krang invasion, donnie was able to get an autism diagnosis.

casey wasnt born at this time, he thought donnie just...always knew.

sooo when he goes back and meets present (past?) donnie, he brings it up pretty casually.

"dont eggs trigger your autism?"

and donnies just like "...what."

so thats how donnie finds out hes autistic. from future boy.

casey also accidentally broke the news to mikey about his adhd, and leo about his homosexuality.

"Did you take your medication, Michelangelo?"

"'Course I did, dude, why?"

"You're...really hyperactive, like how you get when you don't take your dexamfetamine."

"My...what? Dude, Leo and Donnie have me on morphine."

"Your...ADHD meds...I did it again."

"I saw the most attractive man today! Not in like, a gay way, not being homophobic or anything, but like, he just looked gorgeous!"

"Thats what you said when I was younger."

"Was I right?"

"He became my step-dad."

"Your...what?"

"Oh my God can you guys just tell me what you know about yourselves so I can stop doing this?!"

In the bad timeline:

Donnie had built a robotic body of Raph in hopes that Mikey would be able to infuse his soul with it, but he was never able to reach his brothers soul. So the project was scrapped.

A harsh battle against the Krang caused Leo to have his right arm amputated. Per request and to save resources, he was given the arm of the Raph bot as a prosthetic, despite all of Donnies rants of impracticality and weight distribution.

With the prosthetic set and Leo still forced to bed rest, he can swear he saw a red glow from it from time to time.

Then he heard a voice.

Raph’s voice.

AND BOOM CAPTAIN X2 AU!! !

Leo: oh come on, seriously? the everyone-but-Leo fort again??

Donnie: How many times do I have to tell you it is NOT the everyone-but-Leo fort, it is the autistic-people-only fort. The “no Leo’s allowed sign” is CLEARLY not there use your eyes.

Leo: then explain why Mikey is in there!

Donnie: W- RAPH! YOU CANT KEEP LETTING MIKEY IN THERE- WHAT HAVE I TOLD YOU ABOUT RESPECTING THE SANCTITY OF THE AUTISM FORT!!

Raph: He gave me the puppy eyes Don!! what was I supposed to do!!

Siblings that stim together stay together 😎

It must’ve been really chaotic for Dad raising five neurodivergent turtle kids. Actually it’s still pretty chaotic if I’m being honest lol

Also be warned that Raph’s helicopter tail can and will knock you out ❤️

Everyone draws the turtles as toddlers, but what if they were six and seven?

i love that they have an autism groupchat. like of COURSE they would make one. i don’t even really know what they’d talk about but like. lmao

(also an adhd chat that’s 99% mikey and most of what is said is just spamming memes. some related to adhd some completely irrelevant)

also referring to bay mikey as their DOUBLE AGENT I CAN’T

i’d love to hear some neurodivergent headcanons you have (i am very passionate about neurodivergent headcanons i have so many it’s unreal)

I hc that most of the Donatellos, if not all, are autistic with varying levels. I also hc that 2003 Raph in particular has autism due to the mannerisms he has in the show and I will die on that hill.

My hcs also revolve around every Mikey having ADHD (Bayverse, 2003, 2007, 2012, Rise - which was basically confirmed anyway - 2019/Batman vs the TMNT) /ADD (1987). They simply are not Mikey without it, in my opinion.

As for mutant mayhem (I’ve done a post about this) but in concept art Donnie and Mikey both have autism rep stickers - Mikey on his nunchucks and Donnie on his laptop (? I can’t remember where his was too well oops).

Other than that, I don’t particularly hc many other neurodivergent behaviours in any of the turtles notably, though I do see a lot of hcs for 2012 Raph having IED which is interesting, but I’ve not watched enough to know much about his mannerisms. Obviously I’m not a professional, these are just my thoughts and completely understand if people don’t see it or disagree! I just am quite fond of the Mikey ADHD hc the most :)

(Also, I hc Bayverse Mikey as ADHD and Autistic due to @brightlotusmoon ‘s Bayverse fanfics and tumblr posts, which are all amazing and you should check them out!)
