I think it should be called "executive function disorder."
- ahknight 13y agoToo broad; Asperger's is also considered an EF disorder. While there are many similarities (people in support groups for either tend to call the other "cousins") they are very different in presentation. Yes, it is an EF disorder, but one of many on the spectrum of EF disorders. That said, I can think of no better name at the moment.
