So Here’s An Explanation For Executive Dysfunction For Neurotypicals

Just so you know, a normal response to a child breaking something is to first check to see if they got hurt and then if they’re old enough make them help clean it up. And then afterwards explaining to them how to avoid doing that in the future. At no point is yelling necessary to make them understand why they shouldn’t do that.

I'm trying to find out what it is but I have no idea how to word it out, so I was wondering if other adhd folks feel this sensation in your brain PYSICALLY on some days, it's not painful or anything it just felt different. Like your brain is being held differently by your body.

And you can tell from this through your senses somehow that this means you can work. You can do anything you put your mind into, and you can do it, and you don't have to deal with executive dysfunction shit like it never existed! And it felt good. it felt god damn good.

So yeah my question is what the hell is it I want to know more about it!!

Places to read stuff in Norwegian!

Klar tale -> Simply written news articles designed to help people still learning Norwegian

NRK.no -> The national broadcaster, they have a wide variety of articles both on current affairs and topic pieces

Dagbladet.no -> A Norwegian newspaper, as far as u could tell they didn't ask you to subscribe

Forsking.no -> All sorts or articles about all fields of science. These are really interesting and will help you find specialist vocabulary.

Historie.no -> Articles about history, also very interesting

jus24.no -> I came across this one but don't actually read it that much, but it's about legal happenings.

Store Norske Leksikon -> A bit like Wikipedia in a way, lots of articles about things both do with Norway and things not to do with Norway. (How the hell do explain this)

Wikipedia -> I've talked about this one before but I'll never stop recommending it. You can find anything here and it's brilliant for both practicing reading by reading something your familiar with, and for learning new vocabulary.
