So here’s an explanation for executive dysfunction for neurotypicals
I need to do my homework
But I feel dirty cause I was walking around outside barefoot this morning
I can’t do homework because I sit in bed to do homework and I don’t want my bed to get dirty
I don’t want to take a shower now because I like to take a shower at the end of the day to wind down
And then you’re just stuck in that loop for hours and there’s nothing you can do, you try so hard to think of solutions but you’re so set on it that you can’t change the problem
Do homework in a different place? Can’t, I like to do homework in bed and plus I can’t focus on anything else cause I feel dirty
Take a shower now? Can’t, but I really don’t want to because then I can’t take one tonight and it really helps me wind down at the end of the day
Do something else? Can’t, it’s time to do homework and yes I have other things to do but homework is the most important thing I need to do right now
And so you just gotta suffer and think and think and think and either do nothing and get nothing done, don’t do homework because you feel dirty and don’t want to shower now, or
Figure out which is the least annoying/disruptive option to your routine and preferences and do that to try to get back on track
In this case I chose to take a shower now so that I could get on with my day cause I knew it would be bothering me all day if I felt dirty, and I can try to do some other things tonight to find down
But it took me an hour to figure out why I was struggling to go do my homework and what I could do to fix it
This is just a small list of things I do to add a little bit of coziness into my writing through my characters! Relationships (both platonic and romantic) are notoriously hard to write, so here are some of my tips!
Characters picking up on each other’s mannerisms
Characters finishing each other’s sentences
When one character trips/falls/slips and their friend(s) make fun of them before helping them up
Inside jokes
When a group is laughing together, characters who immediately look at each other to see if they found it funny also
Friends who can’t keep it together in serious situations when they’re together
Platonic touching (hugging, hand holding, high fives, etc.)
Characters discussing future plans
Intentionally making fun of each other in front of their crush/partner
So here's an analogy ( Spoiler alert if you haven't seen heavens arena arc )
Know how Gon and Killua can't pass the corridor when they reached the 200th floor because Hisoka stop them from crossing? When Hisoka caught them with his nen, the boys knew that they needed to move away. They desperately want to move away, they even thought that if they stay any much longer they were sure they would die. But no matter how much they tried, they can't. They're just stuck there, unable to do anything except to just wait until it's all over.
And that's how executive dysfunction feels. It's exactly like that.
No matter how much you want to do something, whether its a fun activity, maybe a hobby or a very important thing that you have to get done you just cant. Your brain decided to stop you from doing anything and it fucking sucks. You're just stuck in silence and you're forced to wait until its over. Executive dysfunction is clearly not about having no will power or not enough motivation. Just like how Killua and Gon desperately wanted to get away from Hisoka but they can't, because they're stuck. It's like that.

because i love y’all, i’m sharing my family’s recipe for apple tea (traditional fall/winter drink in west asia, turkey, and many areas of the balkans)
it’s like a more delicate version of apple cider and i basically live off of this stuff when the weather starts to cool!
1 large apple or 2 small, shredded (you can use a cheese grater)
3 cups water
1-2 cinnamon sticks
2-3 pc clove (optional)
honey to taste
1 tsp of lemon juice (add at end)
green tea (optional! some versions call for green tea but i actually prefer it without. up to you!)
throw it all in a pot and let it simmer on a low temperature for an hour or so. while it’s simmering, it will also make your home smell delicious! (if you make it with green tea, add the tea at the end, about five minutes before taking it off the heat so the flavor doesn’t become bitter from oversteeping). strain into your cups and enjoy hot.
end result:
me: *is jokingly mean to my friend*
friend: *jokingly pretends to be hurt*
me (autistic, moral ocd):
is have nothing in head even when overwhelmed cause something traumatic happened and yet unable to think at all is some sort of an adhd thing or what
