"Smart" but still struggling - the role of Executive Functioning in Autism and beyond

"Smart" but still struggling - the role of Executive Functioning in Autism and beyond
Therapy Support Webinar Series: 6-15 years

"Smart but still struggling" describes how individuals, especially those with neurodevelopmental conditions like autism, can be intelligent but face challenges due to difficulties with executive functioning (EF), the brain's management system. EF skills, which include planning, organization, and emotional control, are essential for goal-directed tasks. While EF difficulties are common in autism, they are not unique to it, and understanding these shared difficulties can lead to better, more timely supports for individuals.
