Hi,
Does anyone out there has Dysfunctional Executive/executive Dysfunction and have they had any help for coping with it. I have the condition and have been forced back to research and learn ways of coping.

i’ve had lots of trouble with what might be called “executive functions”. some of this is probably due to PD interfering with learned behaviors, which seem to have a tendency to be more prone to falling apart in various ways. some of this is me becoming, in effect, more autistic because my executive functions are overused coping with tremor and slowness and failure of complicated muscle combinations, meaning that my executive functions are not as available for overriding autistic behaviors. some of this is probably due to the fact that levodopa raises dopamine transmission in the prefrontal cortex which biases my judgement in unwise ways. solving the problems resulting from this combination is hard and i can’t say that i’m succeeding as well as i would like to.
