Avoidance vs Executive Dysfunction: The Invisible Wall
You are staring at a task you need to do. Your body feels heavy. You might think you are being lazy, but that is not true. You are hitting an invisible wall that many ADHD brains face every day.
What is it?
Avoidance is an emotional response to a task that feels scary or boring. Executive dysfunction is a physical struggle in the brain. It makes it hard to plan, start, or finish things even when you want to do them.
Signs & Symptoms
Why does this happen?
Your prefrontal cortex is the boss of your brain. It uses dopamine to help you take action. In an ADHD brain, dopamine levels are lower. This makes the boss fall asleep on the job. When the boss is asleep, your amygdala might panic. This causes a freeze response that feels like a wall.

Ask if you are scared of the task or just confused by it.
