Executive functioning disorder

[blossomhill]

Dd just been dx with this alongside everything else. Anyone else heard of this??

[hereidrawtheline]

sorry I havent but wanted to bump for you

not heard of it as a disorder - more as a range of problems that can occur with ASD - that can lead to problems with things like initiating communication/conversation. Sorry I can't be of any more help. I suppose the obvious questions are 1)how do you feel about it all? and 2)is this any help to how your DD will be supported with schooling etc?

Agree with TC- I have not heard of it as a disorder. Ds executive functioning is very impaired - I thought it was part of ADHD/ASD although technically not part of the diagnostic criteria for asd?

Hi

Dd saw a private ep yesterday and she said this is actually separate to her other difficulties and described it as profound

Bh I don't really know much about this but think it something to do with higher level abilities and carrying out tasks.
Can I ask for details of the EP, or rough location if youdon't want to give details. We have just received our school EP report and it was a bit of an eye opener

[blossomhill]

oh really maddiemo?? yeah sure can i contact you off board? have you still got my email address??? we are still after a place at blossom house so probably have to face tribunal.

Am just dashing out to work bh, don't think I have your email do you have mine?
Can we still CAT?

Good luck with school will try and find a way to get hold of you tomorrow.

no i don't i lost everything on my pc just over a year ago and i don't have CAT... we'll think of something!

Hi BH, Same here computer problems lost all our contacts.

I did sign up to CAT but it doesn't seem to exist anymore!

I think that if you can give a time you will be around this in the near future I will pop my email address on my profile and then delete it as soon as you have it. Is that ok with you?
