@NeuroRebel Executive Function issues. I knew about the social stuff, and had learned a fair bit about the sensory stuff (and my parents knew and understood my more obvious sensory issues), but I had no idea about the #ExecutiveDysfunction or how much it affected. #ActuallyAutistic
@NeuroRebel My response is affected, however, by the fact that I was diagnosed as an adult a few years ago, and my sister had been training towards becoming an SLP for years before that, so we knew I was autistic and some of the elements involved before I was diagnosed. EF was new to me.
@NeuroRebel And it explained *so much* that neither I nor my parents nor my siblings had understood - like how really, *really* hard it is for me to keep my place clean.
