I have ADHD, which should really be titled something like "Executive Functioning Disorder". That's the main symptom: not having enough executive function ability. So what happens when my executive functioning is stolen? Debt. I am eternally indebted to any task that demanded more executive functioning than I could provide. And society demands I pay up one way or another: that's the ADHD tax. Couldn't finish homework? Gotta stay after school. Couldn't work on the company project before its deadline? Get fired. Couldn't cold-call 2 dozen mental health clinics to find an opening that works with my insurance? No meds or therapy for me. Every social system that interacts with me is designed with a baseline expectation of executive functioning: I experience that as a DDoS attack. I think both terms are correct, and you are welcome to use whichever best fits the context you are using it in.
